Kingsley breaks down the financial risks, benefits, and key due diligence factors involved in each path, including patient retention, collections, fee schedules, startup costs, and practice transitions. He also shares real-world lessons from his brother’s practice acquisition and explains when starting from scratch may actually make more sense. The key takeaway is to run the numbers, understand the risks, and choose the path that best fits your goals before committing to a deal.🎁 Free Downloads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE - Tax Strategies eBook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Dental Built to Own Blueprint⁠🛠️ Tools I Use & Recommend (includes my special discounts)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ADP (Payroll)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Gusto (Payroll)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠QuickBooks Online⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🧰 Useful Resources⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Elect S-Corp (Fax IRS Form 2553)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get a Free EIN (IRS)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pay Federal Estimated Taxes (IRS)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⚠️ DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and doesn’t create a CPA-client relationship.
