Why I'm launching ADMA , Complimentary Valuations.What Practice Owners Are Really Asking?
As much as since ADX- Sydney Mar26, I've noticed more than anything, is that the questions are getting sharper.
Every week I speak with dental practice owners across Australia. Some are thriving. Some are finding administration exhausting. Some are quietly wondering whether now is the time to sell. Others are looking to grow and want to know what acquisitions are actually available.
So what are practice owners actually asking?
Over the past six months, the questions I receive most often fall into four broad themes:
Valuation uncertainty: Principals are wanting to know would a valuation today be based on 50% to 120% of annual revenue? What's the real answer?'
Exit timing: 'Is now a good time to sell, or should I wait? What's driving prices up or down right now?'
Operational pressure: 'I'm spending more time managing staff and compliance than treating patients. How do other owners deal with this?'
Buyer motivations: 'Who's actually buying dental practices right now and what they looking for?
How do I get an appraisal or valuation to understand my current situation.
These are not small questions. They are the kinds of questions that keep people up at night and they deserve real answers, not guesswork.
Why I'm launching ADMA — Complimentary Valuations.
I established ADMA (Australian Dental Mergers & Acquisitions) because the dental industry was asking for a dedicated advisory voice, one grounded in real clinical and transaction experience. Not a generalist broker and not a financial planner handling the occasional practice sale, but a specialist who understands the nuances of dentistry from both sides of the table.
As a dental practitioner who has owned and operated private practices for over 25 years, combined with more than 13 years in mergers and acquisitions, I’ve reviewed and valued over 500 dental practices. I speak with vendors and buyers every week, giving me a clear, real-time view of what is actually happening in the market, not just what reports suggest.
That insight is what sets ADMA apart. It’s built on practical experience, current market intelligence and a deep understanding of what drives value in dental businesses today.
For that reason, I’m offering Practice owners, a complimentary valuation of their business. It is an opportunity to understand where your practice sits in the current market, whether you are considering a sale now, planning for the future, or simply want clarity on your position.
What you receive.
The clearest way to describe it is as a confidential roadmap to their best outcome, not just a number, but a structured breakdown of what the practice is worth, why and exactly what needs to happen to achieve the top of the range.
In practical terms, you could describe the report as:
"“A precise, plain-English valuation of your practice—equipping you to make informed, confident decisions on your next move, whether selling or acquiring.”
The ADMA Indicative Valuation Report gives you a clear, confidential assessment of your practice's current market value, broken down into goodwill and equipment components. It identifies your key strengths, flags the risks that buyers will price against you and critically sets out the deal structures and pre-sale actions that can materially increase your final outcome. It is not a generic estimate. It is a vendor-specific document built to help you go to market with clarity, confidence, and a strategy.
