DSO Buyer Registration | Foundation Dental Transitions
You have worked enough deals to know the difference between a prepared seller and one who is not.
By the time a practice reaches you, the financials are clean, the adjustments are defended, and the seller understands exactly what they have. Register your acquisition criteria and we will contact you when a matching opportunity is ready.
What You Get When a Practice Has Been Through Our Process.
Every practice that reaches you has already been through a full financial rebuild and validation process.
The seller knows their adjusted EBITDA, their valuation multiple range, what will be challenged in diligence, and how each vulnerability has been addressed. That preparation produces better conversations, faster diligence, and significantly less re-trading.
It also means you are working with a seller who has unconflicted, professional representation through the entire process. FDT represents sellers exclusively. There is no dual agency. When you sit across the table from an FDT client, you are dealing with someone who has been properly advised, which means the deal either works or it does not. Nobody’s time is wasted finding that out.
Early access to criteria-matched opportunities.
Buyers in the FDT network are contacted before a practice is marketed anywhere else. When a practice matching your acquisition criteria is ready, we reach out directly. You are not part of a mass distribution. You are contacted because your criteria match.
A structured process on both sides.
Every buyer engagement through FDT follows a defined sequence. NDA, financial brief, management meeting, LOI submission. The seller’s confidentiality is protected at every stage. The process is designed so both sides know exactly where they stand at every step.
Sellers who understand what they have.
FDT clients enter the market having been through a rigorous financial preparation process. They know what a serious offer looks like, what their vulnerabilities are, and how each has been addressed. That alignment produces more closeable deals and fewer late-stage surprises for everyone involved.
The Buyers Our Clients Work With. What They Look Like.
Foundation Dental Transitions maintains an active network of institutional buyers across the country. Not every buyer sees every opportunity. When we evaluate which buyers to bring to a client, we are looking for specific signals that predict a successful, professional transaction.
They close what they sign.
The buyers our clients value most have a track record of closing at the price in the LOI. Deal history matters. Buyers who routinely re-trade in diligence are not the buyers our clients want to meet. Buyers who have a consistent record of clean closes get access to better practices.
They have a demonstrated integration track record.
Acquisition is not the hard part. Integration is. The buyers who earn trust in our process have a verifiable track record of how they handled the team, the culture, and the clinical quality at their last several acquisitions. We verify integration history, including feedback from prior sellers when relevant.
They move decisively on the right deal.
Our clients are in the market with a process and a timeline. Buyers who are actively acquiring, have defined criteria, and can move when the right practice is in front of them are the buyers that produce successful transactions for everyone. Exploratory interest without near-term acquisition intent is not what our clients need.
They understand that cultural fit is a deal requirement.
Every FDT client built their practice with intention. The buyers who work well in our process can articulate and demonstrate how they protect team culture, clinical standards, and patient relationships post-close. Buyers who treat these as afterthoughts do not produce the outcomes our clients require.

One More Thing Worth Stating Clearly.
Foundation Dental Transitions represents sellers exclusively. We do not represent buyers. We do not negotiate on behalf of buyers. We do not provide advisory services to both sides of a transaction.
Every practice that comes through our process was represented by advisors whose only financial interest was in producing the best possible outcome for the seller. That means the practices you see through FDT are properly structured, properly valued, and properly represented. That’s good for sellers. It’s also good for buyers who want to work with counterparties who know exactly what they have.
