Today’s 5-Minute Friday is all about a topic that’s bound to get people talking: private equity. I know it stirs up strong opinions, but stick with me. I am giving the reasons why now could be a really interesting time to at least take a look at what private equity-backed OSOs have to offer.
I’ve seen a lot of deals, had boots-on-the-ground experience with Smile Doctors, and watched the five-year investment clock tick away. We’re getting close to another cycle, and if you're paying attention, you’ll see why that matters.
Even if you're not thinking of selling, there’s no harm in getting an offer. You might be surprised what your practice is worth.
Beyond the money, there’s serious value in the support, the systems, and the freedom that comes with handing off the stuff you hate doing. HR, marketing, bills... all gone.
I’m not here to sell you; I just want to make sure you’re thinking with facts, not fear. 🎧 Give it a listen. You’ve got nothing to lose and maybe a lot to gain.
