There are many reasons for a dental practice principal to consider selling, though for many, it is about taking the next steps towards retirement. Of course, deciding to sell is only the first step. Finding the right buyer is crucial to securing the right deal for you and ensuring the future success of the practice for your patients and your team. Even if you are not thinking about selling in the immediate future, being aware of all your options is always advantageous.
Who is Colosseum Dental UK?
Colosseum Dental is backed by Jacobs Holding, which is a global professional investment firm based in Switzerland. The company has a long-term commitment to dentistry and has invested extensively in Colosseum Dental to make it Europe’s fastest growing dental company, with clinics in 9 different countries. Since 2019, Jacobs Holding also operates North American Dental Group (NADG), which has more than 200 dental practices across the United States. The only financial beneficiary of any Jacobs Holding organisation is the Jacobs Foundation. This is a world-leading charity dedicated to enabling and supporting youth development and education around the globe, with more than £500 million granted to global projects since its inception in 1989.
Colosseum Dental UK currently has over 70 clinics in the UK, and we continue to expand our network with new dental teams who share our passion for clinical excellence and patient care. We are committed to four core values – Care, Entrepreneurship, Passion and Collaboration. We care more about our patients and our people, aiming to deliver consistently high-quality patient care while creating a great place to work for practice team members. We aim to empower individuals to think and act like business owners, and we are passionate and enthusiastic about dentistry. We also believe in collaboration with our people – everyone from the directors to the dentists, dental nurses, practice managers and the practice cleaners have an opportunity to share their thoughts and to be heard. We know that only by working together can we achieve the very best for all.
In addition to supporting the Jacobs Foundation, Colosseum Dental UK is passionate about giving back locally as well. All clinics follow the Good Neighbour initiative, which encourages community engagement and support, helping practice teams to get involved with or arrange projects within their local areas.
New clinics welcome
For any principals considering a sale, having complete trust in a potential buyer for your clinic is crucial. At Colosseum Dental UK, we do whatever we can, working with you to protect what you have built and facilitate the ongoing development of your team and your business.
If you would like more information or would simply like to have a chat with a member of our fantastic team, Simon Taylor is your first port of call. Simon is new to Colosseum Dental UK, but not to the industry. He has worked in dentistry – specifically M&A for dental providers – for several years, having worked with and been involved in the acquisition of around 200 practices in his previous role. Bringing his extensive experience and expertise to Colosseum Dental UK, Simon will be guiding the organisation through the next stage of growth.
He comments:
“We continue to actively seek out new dental clinics in the UK. My team and I are looking to work with vendors that share our ethos, ensuring a fair price for them, delivering a great level of support during the sales process and providing new opportunities for their teams. It’s simply about starting the conversation – I’m more than happy to speak to vendor dentists who just need more information, and I can always have a confidential, no-obligation conversation.”
Aside from professional training and education, cutting-edge clinic facilities, fair pay and personal support for all practice team members, Colosseum Dental UK also offers peace of mind for the future. We want to work with the clinics that join our organisation for many years to come, and we take a long-term view on everything that we do.
“We are definitely not in it for the short-term gains,” Simon adds. “We don’t approach new clinics with a plan to sell them on in a couple of years. We are buying practices that we can retain and develop for the long term. Vendors can have confidence that their teams and their patients will be looked after by us for many more years to come. I think this is a strong differential for our organisation compared to some others in the market.”
Despite everything this past year has thrown at the industry, Colosseum Dental UK continues to invest in our people, our patients and our business. We offer competitive prices for clinics and are able to complete transactions in around 12-16 weeks.
For more details, or to start the conversation, you can contact Simon directly on 07921 876836 or at simon.taylor@colosseumdental.co.uk. He will also be at the London Dentistry Show on Friday 17th September if you’d like to meet up, just let him know!
