Why sell with The Business Acquisitions Group?
Access the full buyer market
We work with individual associate buyers, corporate dental groups, and private equity-backed aggregators — giving you competitive bidding instead of a single take-it-or-leave-it offer.
Confidential from day one
Your staff, patients, and competitors won’t know your practice is for sale until you choose to tell them. We operate under strict NDAs at every stage.
Specialist dental expertise
NHS contract transfers, CQC registration handovers, UDA goodwill calculations — we’ve handled all of it. No learning curve at your expense.
No upfront fees
We only earn our fee when you complete. If you don’t sell, you don’t pay.
What is my dental practice worth?
Dental practice valuations in the UK depend on whether you run an NHS, private, or mixed practice.
NHS practices are typically valued at 50p–90p per £1 of annual NHS contract income. A practice with a £500,000 NHS contract might be worth £280,000–£450,000 in goodwill.
Private practices are valued at 5.5–8× normalised EBITDA. A private practice generating £180,000 EBITDA might sell for £990,000–£1,440,000.
Mixed practices use a blended approach — NHS goodwill plus private EBITDA multiple.
The only way to get your real number is a proper valuation. We’ll give you one for free.

How we sell your dental practice
1. Free valuation
We review your accounts, NHS contract, and practice profile and give you a clear, realistic market value. No cost, no obligation.
2. Preparation
We prepare a confidential Information Memorandum and help you get any paperwork in order (accounts, CQC, NHS contract data) before we go to market.
3. Confidential marketing
We approach our database of qualified buyers under NDA — corporates, associates, investment vehicles. You don’t have to do anything.
4. Competitive offers
We aim to generate multiple offers so you have genuine choice and negotiating leverage. We’ll help you compare price, structure, and terms.
5. Heads of terms to completion
We manage negotiations, support due diligence, and coordinate the NHS contract transfer and CQC changeover in parallel. We stay with you all the way to the day you receive your proceeds.
NHS contract and CQC — we handle it
The most complex parts of a dental practice sale are the NHS contract transfer and CQC re-registration. Both must run in parallel with the legal process and typically take 3–6 months. We coordinate these with your solicitors so nothing slips through the gaps.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to sell a dental practice?
Most sales take 6–12 months from instruction to completion. NHS contract transfer is usually the longest step. We start this process early to avoid delays.
Will my staff find out I’m selling?
Not until you choose to tell them. Our entire process is confidential. Staff are informed under TUPE obligations at the appropriate stage — coordinated with the buyer.
Can I sell to an associate already working in the practice?
Yes. Internal sales are possible, though a competitive open-market process typically achieves a better price even when the eventual buyer turns out to be someone you already know.
What are your fees?
We charge a percentage of the final sale price, payable on completion only. We’ll confirm the exact rate at valuation — there are no upfront charges.
Do you cover NHS and private practices?
Yes. We handle GDS and PDS NHS contract practices, fully private practices, and mixed models.
What is Business Asset Disposal Relief (BADR)?
BADR reduces Capital Gains Tax to 10% on your first £1 million of qualifying sale proceeds. Most dental practice owners who have held their practice for 2+ years qualify. We strongly recommend speaking to a NASDAL-registered accountant before completing any sale.
