The deal context

The economics on a dental practice management platform deal usually hinge on a handful of structural decisions. Add-On Acquisition Strategy is one of them.

The typical dental practice management platform sits at $10M to $130M EV with EBITDA in the $2.5M to $22M range. The thesis runs on DSO buy-up under an MSO. Insurance mix dictates valuation. Read the PPO contracts before the EBITDA.

The moves

How Add-On Acquisition Strategy actually gets structured.

  1. Pre-approve an add-on capital threshold in the LPA so each deal does not require a fresh vote.

  2. Build a unified diligence framework for repeated industry deals to compress cycle time.

  3. Coordinate add-on financing within the existing senior credit facility's accordion or incremental.

  4. Document representations and warranties templates that scale across multiple targets.

  5. In dental practice management, layer in MSO model documented per state as part of the Add-On Acquisition Strategy workstream.

The common mistake

Treating every add-on as a new deal. The legal infrastructure should compound, not restart.

Jason's take
"Add-on integration is a system, not a transaction. Build the system before you need it."

Capital after close

The deal is one thing. The capital that opens up after close is another.

The capital that opens up post-close, from refinancing to growth equity to strategic exit, runs through a small set of Wall Street relationships. That network is built in.
