DENTAL M&A QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER SIGN UP

* indicates required
                           THERE ARE FOUR FACTORS WHICH SET US “APART” IN THE INDUSTRY:​

1. WE ARE DENTAL PEOPLE, and focus our efforts entirely on this great industry!  CTD's Founder and Managing Partner, Dr. Tony Stefanou, Is a dentist with 35+ YEARS OF CLINICAL AND BUSINESS EXPERIENCE. He adds the benefit of having that "extra sense" of being able to better determine how companies  "fit" with one another with the products/services they offer -- very important in any M & A process. He is also a CBI (Certified Business Intermediary) 

2.  We offer a structured, FORMAL approach to M & A (not just a "we'll get back to you IF something comes about").  We set up EVERYTHING that is needed up front (from valuation to preparation) to ensure an efficient process so there are no surprises. We communicate with our clients regularly. Our strategy is simple...to be PROACTIVE not passive!  We do NOT match and disappear, but become an active, integral part of the process so the deal can end successfully. 

3. We attend every major (and many smaller, regional, and/or "specialized") trade shows/conferences in order to meet FACE TO FACE with potential company buyers and sellers.

4. At trade shows/conferences, we regularly host networking cocktail parties, drawing a diverse group of industry clinical and business professionals, which often results in 100+ people in attendance. Many who attend are company executives who enjoy being able to make new dental acquaintances, talk to friends, and even mingle withh "competitors"!  Point being...this is highly unusual in dentistry, and CTD is known for, and branded, as a for "bringing companies and individuals together"!   This is a major plus for those looking to choose an M & A advisor / representative asking themselves the question: "Who can  find the right partner, investor, or acquirer for us?"
