Following the tragic death of my brother-in-law, I had to take over the running of his practice and prepare the business for sale.  I am the CEO of a nuclear fuels company and so was frankly clueless about what needed to be done.

On the recommendation of my solicitor, a specialist in the sale of dental businesses, I contacted Lily Head Practice Sales.  Abi Greenhough was assigned to my account she was superbly helpful.  Abi was polite, professional and took charge of the process in a seamless fashion.  The terms of the sale agreement between us and Lily Head Practice Sales were covered quickly and were, in my opinion, a fair apportionment of fee versus risk if the sale did not proceed.

Buyers were quickly identified, and an offer made within a matter of a couple of weeks.  The sale process was particularly troublesome due to the physical condition of the practice building.  The lack of disability access and then the discovery of Japanese Knotweed.  Abi was superb in keeping both parties engaged and applying the appropriate amount of encouragement to keep the sale on track.

The practice eventually sold and without Abi’s help this would likely never have happened. She and the broader Lily Head Practice Sales business gave us a great service.  I could not recommend Abi highly enough.

What our clients say about us
The focus of my entire career since 2000 was building Riveredge Cosmetic Dentistry in Sunderland. Our goal was always to provide the highest quality treatments. Over the years we have won multiple awards and earned an outstanding reputation. When it came time for me to consider an exit strategy I had concerns that the practice would have little value because I had been ever present and without me the practice may have been considered a risky purchase. At my first meeting with Lily Head, I shared these concerns. Lily’s response was immediate and definite. She said ‘Let me be the judge of that. I know people who would be very interested in your practice’. Lily earned my trust and never let me down. Lily and I discussed the high clinical standards I wanted. What I was not prepared to put up with whilst realising the true value of the practice. Unfortunately, Lily and I decided to pull out of one deal during the due diligence because we found the buyers were not right for me, my team and my patients. What I can say is that Lily and her team always worked in my best interests even though it meant more work and a longer transaction time for them. Lily negotiated an excellent deal with excellent terms and I am proud that Riveredge is now part of the Dentex Health Group.

We were very impressed with Lily Head when she visited our Dental Practice. Lily was professional and gave us plenty of her time to discus our Dental Practice and requirements in depth in order to understand the best ways to market it.

All our dealings with Lily and her office subsequently were handled in a very satisfactory way.

Lily Head provided a professional, timely and friendly service that enabled me to continue with the business of dentistry during my sale process. There are many significant decisions you have to make during the sale process. The team at Lily Head also helped easy my anxieties so that I could make considered decisions.
