The deal context

Every dental practice management acquisition has its own gravity. F-Reorganization Tax Structuring is the workstream where independent sponsor counsel earns the seat.

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 F-Reorganization Tax Structuring actually gets structured.

  1. Map the F-reorg sequence with tax counsel before sign-and-close timing locks in.

  2. Confirm state-level treatment, especially in California and New York.

  3. Document the new entity as a flow-through structure that the buyer can step into.

  4. Sequence shareholder approvals to avoid blowing the reorganization treatment.

  5. In dental practice management, layer in MSO model documented per state as part of the F-Reorganization Tax Structuring workstream.

The common mistake

Trying to retrofit an F-reorg after the LOI is signed. The sequencing has to be planned, not reverse-engineered.

Jason's take
"F-reorgs are clean tax mechanics. Get them on the whiteboard the day you sign the LOI."

Capital after close

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