A Peek Into The Past:
1948
Roy Brown, 1954
At the age of 18, Roy Brown stepped into a job that would define his life for the next 55 years. In 1948, he started with a co-operative known as the Associated Dentists Co-operative (ADC). Dentist shareholders numbered 900 from Ontario to British Columbia. They were mostly World War II veterans who were concerned with the investigation by our federal government into an alleged dental combine, fixing prices and limiting competition.
Mobile Equipment service, 1964
He began as a salesman and worked his way to manager and finally became the President in 1973. His achievements with Associated Dentist Co-Operative company included introducing high-speed handpieces, disposable needles, equipment leasing, and designing and manufacturing open concept cabinetry. It was through working with this company that Roy saw the need for the dentists of Canada to be given a value for their practices. In the past, a retiring dentist could not find a purchaser and was forced to store equipment and hope that he/she could give patients a referral to another dentist.
1974
Roy & Joan, 1974
In 1974, ROI Management (later renamed ROI Corporation) was formed to offer the dental profession a reliable source to document practice value and to ensure confidential sales. Roy was the first in Canada to recognize the emerging market for dental practices and the first to obtain registration under the Real Estate and Business Brokers’ Act, specifically for dental practice brokerage. Other individuals then entered the business in the 1980’s thus building a market service, which has been to the benefit of all Canadian dentists nationwide. Roy is very proud that his family has been included in the business. His wife of 55 years, Joan, is seen here helping at ROI Corporation’s first ODA Convention in 1974.
1984
Timothy A. Brown, 1984
Timothy, the youngest of Roy and Joan’s children, completed his post-secondary education, and obtained his business broker’s licence in 1984.

Sandy Evans & Timothy
At the end of 2004, Roy retired, so Timothy and Sandy officially bought ROI Corporation and continue to grow it, successfully helping healthcare professionals retire with maximum value and minimum stress.
1994
Roy & Joan, 1994
In the 1990’s Roy decided to slow down and was appointed the honourable lifetime Chairman of the Board. In 1994, Timothy was elected Vice President and later President and C.E.O. Since then Timothy has written over 250 articles published in respected Canadian dental journals, has spoken at hundreds of seminars and conventions about DentaGraphics™, his study of future trends in dental manpower, practice valuations and patient behaviour. He also introduced a formal Locum registry to Canada.
