There's no standard deal at Averra - the structure follows your stage of life and what you want next. Here are the four shapes a partnership usually takes.
Typically suits: owners ready to step away in the next 1-2 years - retirement, a health or lifestyle change, or simply "I've done my years".
You sell 100% of the practice at a fair, transparent valuation, with the majority paid in cash at settlement. Then, instead of walking out the door on day one, you work a handover period that's genuinely easier than the job you had - we carry the admin while you wind down clinical days at a pace you set.
Typically suits: owners in their prime who want to take money off the table, de-risk, and keep building - without going it alone.
You sell a portion of the practice and keep meaningful equity, so you get capital out today and share in the upside you keep creating. It's also the structure that opens the door for your key clinicians - a long-standing associate dentist can buy in alongside you, turning succession into a plan rather than a hope.
Typically suits: dentists approaching retirement who want succession done properly - over years, not a cliff-edge sale.
You sell in stages over an agreed timeline - locking in a fair valuation now while stepping back gradually. Reduce your days year by year, mentor the next generation (including key clinicians who want to buy in), and let the earnout reward the handover you were going to do anyway. The practice you built keeps its name, its people and its standards.
Typically suits: ambitious owners with a full book and a bigger vision - more chairs, a renovation, extended hours or a second location.
Averra invests alongside you to fund the growth you can already see - backed by long-term Australian capital, not a bank covenant. You keep running the clinic your way while our operations team handles the recruitment, systems and back office that expansion actually requires.
Most owners aren't - and plenty of partnerships end up blending two of these. Start with a conversation and we'll shape the structure around you.
