From a legal aspect, buyers must realize that it is the Broker’s job to represent the seller’s best interests.  However, a good dental broker spends a great deal of time compiling important documents which help the buyer decide if the particular practice is a good value in that buyer’s hands.  Only the buyer can determine if his/her own skill sets will be successful in a particular type of practice. The Seller’s broker will also provide the accurate cash flow for the practice, computer reports that show the percentages of procedures being performed in the practice, schedules of employee pay and benefits, tax returns, office lease, and any other documents that are pertinent to the practice. Brokers cannot prevent a buyer from making a poor decision, but hopefully they’ve provided the information necessary to help the buyer make an educated decision.
