Retiring: everything practice owners need to know

Dental practice valuers, PFM Dental, and dental lawyers, Goodman Grant, (each a member of a leading dental business organisation) have joined forces to deliver a series of seminar covering everything dentists need to know about retiring. The first takes place in Leeds on Friday 24^th January 2014.

Key topics for these seminars include: valuing goodwill, selling to a corporate, legal issues with the transfer of NHS contracts and securing NHS Pension benefits while avoiding HMRC tax charges. The seminar format allows plenty of time for Q&A and runs from 9.00am to 3.30pm, with lunch included. Delegate fees are only £50, making the events exceptional value considering the specialist nature of the content.

Between them the firms have more than 50 years experience of advising dentists on business and legal matters. Such issues have grown in complexity in recent years with the new NHS contract, increased interest from corporate buyers and CQC requirements as well as changes to employment law and NHS Pensions. All these issues and how they relate to the sale of a dental practice – a key factor when planning to retire – are covered on the day.

Martyn Bradshaw (pictured below), a director of PFM Dental and guest CPD speaker at the BDTA Dental Showcase 2013 commented: “These events stand out from the plethora of general retirement seminars because the participating firms are genuine dental specialists with either NASDAL or ASPD accreditation.”

NASDAL (National Association of Dental Accountants and Lawyers) and ASPD (the Association of Specialist Providers to Dentists) were each formed to share knowledge among leading business specialists within dentistry. Before being accepted, prospective member companies undergo a vetting process to ensure they have the required level of specialist knowledge and experience.

PFM Dental is one of the UK’s leading dental sales agencies and valuers. It sells and values dental practices throughout England, Scotland and Wales.

Goodman Grant is one of the country's foremost law firms providing specialist legal services to the dental profession nationally.
