The right place, the right numbers.

A clinic’s fate is often sealed with the first signature. We don’t spend a penny until the district, building, floor area and budget all add up on paper.

The most common mistake dentists make is falling for a space and doing the maths later. We reverse the order: patient potential, competition and the true setup cost come first; the space is chosen at the end of that calculation.

01

What we do

01District and competition analysis

Clinic density, demographics, transport links and competitor positioning in the area, all on one map.

02Site assessment

A comparison of candidate premises by floor area, floor level, facade visibility, parking, lift access and licensing compliance.

03Measurement and preliminary layout

An on-site survey of the candidate premises; a quick plan showing how many dental units, sterilisation, X-ray and waiting areas will fit.

04Real setup budget

From the deposit to the first consumables: fit-out, equipment, furniture, branding and opening costs, line by line.

05Return projection

A realistic scenario for when the clinic will pay for itself, based on patient flow and treatment mix.

06Acquisition option

If acquiring a clinic is on the table, valuation and due diligence are handled through our Clinic Transfer & Valuation service.

Week 1Listening

Your goals, budget, specialty and the area you want to work in.

Week 2Area analysis

District, competitor and access map; a shortlist of candidate streets and buildings.

Week 3Space tour

On-site surveys of candidate premises and early layout tests.

Week 4Decision file

Budget, projection and recommended premises. Signing comes after this file.

The most common mistakes

The mistakes we see most often in the field — and that can be avoided from the start.

Fall for the space first

A beautiful facade won’t save you in the wrong neighbourhood. On a street with no patient potential, even the best clinic stays empty.

Forgetting costs beyond rent

Service charges, deposits, rent paid for nothing during the fit-out and the wait for the licence quietly inflate the budget.

Asking about licence compliance too late

If floor, entrance, ventilation and floor-area requirements aren’t checked before signing, the space may never be able to open.

Sizing the number of dental units to the space

It works the other way round: the number of dental units is set by target revenue, and the premises are chosen to fit.

FAQ

I haven’t chosen an area yet. Can we still start?

Yes. Most projects start right here: we listen to your goals and compare two or three candidate areas.

There’s a clinic I’m thinking of taking over. Can you assess it?

Yes. We have a dedicated service for it: Clinic Transfer & Valuation. It starts with physical condition, fixtures, stock and operating data, then moves on to financial and legal review.

After this stage, am I obliged to give you the architecture and branding work too?

No. Each service can be taken on its own, but running the whole process through one team shortens the timeline considerably.

Let’s talk about your clinic.

Whether you’re opening from scratch or growing: in the first meeting we listen to where you stand and pin down what you need at each step.
