Grow by acquisition, with the discipline to buy the right one.
Growing through acquisition requires more than finding a target. It requires the discipline to evaluate correctly, the relationships to source deals others do not see, and the judgment to know what is actually being bought.
We serve as an embedded deal function for companies that want to grow inorganically but do not have a dedicated team to source, evaluate, and close.
A function, not a single transaction.
Acquisition thesis and target criteria
Define what you are buying and why before any sourcing starts, so the pipeline is not just whatever is for sale.
Off-market sourcing and owner outreach
Work the channels and relationships that surface deals before they reach a broker, and approach owners directly.
Valuation, structure, and letter of intent
Price it, structure it so the economics land where they should, and get the letter of intent signed.
Diligence management through close
Run diligence, hold the advisors to the timetable, and carry the deal to close. We say no quickly when the numbers say so.
What Corporate Development Actually Requires
Most companies that want to grow through acquisition underestimate what the function actually demands. This is what it takes to do it correctly.
The Referrals That Leave With You
If the doctors who send you patients send them because of you, the day you walk out a share of them start looking for the next person to trust. Friendships do not transfer in an asset purchase agreement.
Someone Already Set a Price on Your Practice
Consolidators are buying dental practices by the hundreds every year, which means a market price for yours already exists. The trouble is the buyer knows it and you do not, and that gap is where owners lose money.
