Mark Costes
About this episode

On today's episode, we continue with Brandon Moncrief of McLerran & Associates, a leading expert in dental transitions and DSO affiliations, to dive deep into the intricacies of holdco equity, joint venture structures, and maximizing practice valuations.

Brannon explains the nuances of DSO deal structures, including the benefits and risks of holdco equity versus joint venture (JV) models, and how these choices align with a dentist's career stage and goals. He shares actionable insights on what makes a DSO attractive to private equity firms and the critical factors that can influence valuation multiples at recap.

Listeners will also learn about common mistakes dentists make when selling their practice, how to avoid being undervalued, and why proper representation and creating competitive market leverage are essential. Brannon reveals how his firm’s sell-side advisory process can increase valuations by 30-50% through strategic negotiation and a blind bidding process.

If you’re considering a DSO affiliation or just want to understand the evolving landscape of dental practice consolidation, this episode is packed with invaluable advice to help you navigate these high-stakes decisions with confidence.
