Southwestern, Ontario
ROI Corporation is delighted to present an opportunity for a dentist seeking a good lifestyle, lower overhead than larger cities, strong community relationships and stable long-term income. Many of our clients who own and work in these types of communities comment on the diverse dental services they offer, more relaxed patients, and the requirement not to work exhaustive hours.
Some may question the purchase of an established office in a smaller community because, at first review, the market appears over-serviced compared with the Canadian average. However, these practices draw from surrounding communities because the clinic can be viewed as a regional healthcare hub, where patients routinely travel. This is why we always encourage a purchaser to consider the broader catchment area, as the level of competition looks much more reasonable.
Our client saw an opportunity in this community and purchased it 5 years ago from another owner. The area was grossly underserved with implants and sleep dentistry despite a growing population. An excellent sign for a small town and its surrounding area is when big-box retailers such as Walmart, Canadian Tire, and other major brands operate in the area. These types of businesses only enter a market after an extensive study has been completed.
This practice lends itself to multiple buyers:
- A dentist who would like to offer implants and GA
- An experienced associate looking for an office where more complicated dentistry can be done
- An individual who would like to have this practice as a foundation to grow into a larger family office
- A specialist who may wish to run a specialty clinic in a more relaxed environment
This practice presents a new owner with the following opportunities:
- Room to expand both physically (an operatory can be added to the current 3 ops) and schedule (clinic does not have a dentist 2 days per week)
- Significant number of patients are under 20 years of age which means there is a great opportunity to attract and retain their parents
- Non-assignment office, which is unusual for a small community practice
- Doctors are booked 8 weeks in advance. Given current availability, seeing more patients is a real possibility
- The vendor owns the real estate and would like to sell it as well. Therefore, landlord issues and stresses are eliminated. Real estate is also always more affordable in smaller communities than larger urban centres
- The establishment of a strong hygiene program. Currently, many of the patients are referred by other offices and the owners do not want this relationship negatively affected
