How Does the Viper Process Work?

Are you looking to find dental practice buyers who would be interested in purchasing your multi-office practice? Be glad to know that many private equity-funded dental service organizations (DSOs) are looking for large practices to acquire.  

As a dental professional, you don’t need anyone to tell you that the practice of dentistry involves more than just patient treatment. Administrative tasks associated with your practice demand a large amount of your time and energy.  

Since DSOs provide welcome business and management support, merging with one allows you to maximize your multi-location practice from a clinical perspective. You can stay in the leadership role without having to sacrifice your standards of care.  

Thanks to their large-scale support network, DSOs can provide you with incentives for joining, insurance reimbursement support, new and emerging technology, elimination of dental education debt, skill training, collaboration with colleagues, and more. 

However, the key to ensuring successful alignment with DSOs and private equity firms is to work with an experienced and dedicated team of M&A professionals in the healthcare marketplace.

How the Viper Process Works 

If you’re looking to merge with a private equity-backed DSO and benefit from the resources they offer, you should learn more about how the Viper process works.   

• You Enter Into a Formal and Legally Binding Agreement with Viper 

First, we set forth an open working relationship while protecting all parties involved through our non-exclusive contract and confidentiality agreement. You’ll have the confidence and reassurance that our team will keep all your information safe and that we’ll only share it with your approval. 

• You Give Us Your Company Information 

Our departmentalized Viper teams will conduct extensive due diligence on your practice. We’ll create a confidential Data Room, draft a teaser, and develop a business summary and a Deal Book designed for easy comprehension. We build your story and image to successfully market and close your deal as we make vital documentation and analysis. 

• We Conduct a Marketing Outreach 

We’ll use an extensive marketing system to generate interest from qualified partners within our exclusive, proprietary network. Besides getting you the best offers available, our goal is to ensure strategic alignment by matching the parties that work well together.  

• We’ll Coordinate Online Information Exchange and In-Person Meetings 

After the marketing starts and information exchanges, our non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with each financial partner will put all parties at ease. Moreover, our team will coordinate introductory calls that allow the key players to discuss the opportunity and establish the potential for collaboration.  

When it’s time for all parties to the potential deal to meet and solidify their expectations, we’ll coordinate in-person meetings and deal presentations with interested finance groups under an NDA. 

• Parties Move Forward to the Letter of Intent (LOI) 

As soon as the LOI is signed, our team will recommend that you retain legal counsel to guide you through the closing process. You’ll have our support during each phase of the post-LOI due diligence process to ensure that it runs smoothly.  

• We Facilitate the Closing and Funding Process 

The investing group will set the closing date. By this time, all contracts will be ready for signing. Our team will make sure that the process is without incident and straightforward.
