Professional Practice Valuations
Professional practices may need to be valuated for a number of reasons including but not limited to; a potential sale of a professional practice, bringing in an associate or partner, obtaining financing for an expansion or modernization of their practice, creating a personal financial statement, estate planning or personal reasons such as planning for retirement or even for a divorce.
Appraisals that define as accurately as possible the true value of a professional practice as an on going concern among practice brokers throughout the country.

At Hudson Transition Partners we considers many factors beyond a practice’s reported gross and net income. We also look at the quality of the patient base, competitiveness of the practice’s fee schedule, any and all personal benefits which the practice provides to the dentist, market data collected in the area that the practice is listed as well as many other aspects which are to involved to list here. We offer a fair and accurate appraised value of your practice to be used for any of the reasons mentioned above.
Brokerage
We assist professionals in the sale of their practices by working closely with the seller to evaluate their practice and arrive a fair market value. We then seek out qualified buyers by searching our own records and by advertising in professional journals, newsletters, bulletins and on our website.
After we have identified qualified buyers for the practice, we require them to sign a confidentiality agreement, which we keep on file in our office, no buyer visits any practice unless this agreement has been signed and our team has interviewed the buyer. We work around the sellers schedule to show practices to qualified buyers as to not interrupt his or her business and to make certain the sale is held in the strictest confidence.
Once we have a signed purchase offer from a qualified buyer which has been accepted by the seller we then work closely with both the seller’s and buyer’s attorneys, accountants and financing sources to provide a smooth transition of the professional practice which benefits all parties involved.
