Whether you’re buying or selling a practice, asset allocation is a vital part of assessing the value of the business.

What Is Asset Allocation?

Asset allocation is the process of assigning a dollar value to every asset being transferred in the sale of a dental practice. When a practice is bought or sold, assets may transfer ownership from buyer to seller.

What Assets Do Dental Practices Have?

Dental practices have a variety of assets that are taken into consideration during a sale. Assets are divided into two categories, tangible and intangible. Tangible assets are physical objects with an easily identifiable value. They include things like:

• Technology
• Equipment
• Office supplies, computer systems, and waiting room furniture
• Patient records
• Website & Domain

Intangible assets are more abstract, but no less important. In some cases, they can provide more value to a practice than the tangible assets. Intangibles include:

• Non-compete clauses
• The practice’s reputation and goodwill
