Planning for dentists who also run a business

A dental practice is both a career and an operating company with staff, equipment debt and a sale value. Planning has to hold both at once.

Where we help

The practice and the household

Practice acquisition and debt

Structuring the purchase, the lending requirements and the coverage lenders ask for.

  • Acquisition financing
  • Lender-required coverage
  • Equipment debt

Corporate strategy

Compensation, retained earnings and investing inside the professional corporation.

  • Salary vs dividends
  • Corporate investing
  • Health spending accounts

Exit and succession

Associate buy-ins, partner agreements and eventually selling the practice on your timeline.

  • Buy-sell funding
  • Valuation planning
  • Transition timeline

How we work

A practical sequence

  1. Step 1

    Protect the earnings

    Own-occupation disability and overhead expense coverage first — the practice depends on your hands.

  2. Step 2

    Organize the corporation

    Compensation and investment structure that fits the tax picture, not a template.

  3. Step 3

    Build the personal plan

    Registered accounts, family goals and a retirement date supported by numbers.

  4. Step 4

    Plan the exit early

    The best practice sales are structured years before they happen.
