Important things to consider when buying or selling a dental practice

When a dental practice changes ownership, so must the lease agreement; it needs to move from the name and control of the selling dentist, to the name and control of the buying dentist. Some key items to keep in mind when buying or selling a dental practice are:

  • Will you be liable for the property rent even after selling or transferring the practice?

  • Has the lease been signed under your personal name?
  • Is there anything in your lease that directly affects your ability to transfer or sell your practice?
  • Does the lease have enough term and options to renew left for you to use after you buy the practice? Are you sure those options to renew are available to you? Often these options disappear as soon as one tenant assigns the lease to another dentist.
  • Is the lease set up with enough flexibility to bring in associates or eventually sell your dental practice?
  • Does the landlord have the right to relocate your practice?
  • Does the landlord have the right to terminate your lease, and kick you out of the building?
