Key Due Diligence Areas

Customer Concentration & Retention↓

For Dental Practices businesses, evaluate your top 10 customers as a percentage of revenue. Typical red flags: single customer over 20% of revenue or top 3 customers representing more than 50% of revenue.

Financial History & Add-Backs↓

Review 3 years of financials. For Dental Practices, common add-backs include: owner's discretionary expenses, one-time consulting fees, and non-recurring legal/accounting costs. Verify all add-backs with documentation.

Recurring Revenue & Contracts↓

Identify what percentage of revenue is recurring or under contract. Multi-year contracts and recurring revenue models reduce valuation risk and support higher multiples in Dental Practices businesses.
