- Patient introduction period
Valuation context
An estimate from the illustrative Dental practice SDE band (Band source: NewHands teaching assumption — illustrative planning range, not a market transaction comp dataset), not an appraisal. Customer concentration was not on the listing, so that adjustment was left at zero.
Low
$1,170,000
Midpoint
$1,586,000
High
$2,002,000
Asking price is $26,000 below the midpoint estimate (3.00× trailing SDE).
- Start with the illustrative Dental practice SDE band (NewHands teaching assumption): 2.40× to 4.00×, midpoint 3.20×.
- Apply disclosed adjustments totaling -0.15 to each end of the band, then floor the multiple at 0.80×.
- Multiply seller's discretionary earnings of 520,000 by the adjusted band. That is the business value, not the real estate.
- Real estate is not included, so nothing is added after the multiple.
