How do I sell my dental practice in Singapore without my staff finding out?
Run the process off-market. At Clearmere nothing is publicly listed and nothing carries your name. Early materials use a reference code instead of your practice name and address, buyers see identifying details only after signing an NDA that you have approved, and you decide when your team is told. Most owners tell their staff after the deal is signed, not before.
What is my dental practice worth?
A dental practice is priced off its normalised earnings, not its revenue. That means adjusting the accounts for owner-specific costs so a buyer sees the true earning power of the clinic. What moves the number most is how much of the goodwill sits with you personally rather than with the practice, the remaining lease tenure, the chair count and utilisation, and whether associates and patients stay after you leave. We give you a valuation in writing, under NDA, for a fixed fee credited against our success fee if you sell with us.
Who buys dental practices in Singapore?
Mostly two groups. Dental group operators expanding their footprint, who pay for a well-run clinic with clean records and continuity. And individual dentists or associate-led buyers stepping up to ownership. The two value a practice differently, which is why running a competitive process quietly usually beats accepting the first approach.
How long does it take to sell a dental practice?
It varies with how ready the practice is and how clean the financials are. The parts owners underestimate are the preparation before any buyer is approached, and the period between a signed offer and completion where due diligence, lease and registration matters are worked through. We give you an honest timeline for your specific situation at the valuation stage rather than a generic promise.
What does Clearmere charge to sell a dental practice?
Our sale fee is success-based and paid on completion: no sale, no fee. A written valuation is a separate fixed fee, agreed and paid before we start, and credited in full against our success fee if you sign with us within 6 months and the sale completes. The first conversation, a short questionnaire and our written recommendation on which valuation fits are free and carry no obligation.
What happens to my patients and my team when I sell?
That is usually the thing owners care about most, and it is a negotiating point rather than an afterthought. Continuity of care and staff retention are typically what the buyer is paying for, so both sides normally want the same outcome. We put it on the table early, in writing, rather than leaving it to goodwill at completion.
