The day you sell your dental practice can be the most exciting payday of your career and the most dangerous moment for your finances. We see it all the time: years of hard work crystallise into a lump sum, then the reality hits that the practice income has switched off and inflation is still running. So we sit down with financial planners Luke Hurley and Anik Sharma from Videre Financial Planning to map out what actually matters before, during, and after a dental practice sale in the UK.

We talk through how to improve dental practice valuation by reducing owner reliance, tightening systems, and presenting a business that a buyer can run without you. Then we get practical about deal structure: asset vs share sales, deferred payments, and earn-outs, and how each option changes tax and your real “money in your pocket”. The key idea is simple but often missed: know your number. With cash flow modelling, we can work backwards from the lifestyle you want across different retirement phases, include NHS pension and State Pension, and test whether a proposed sale price truly funds financial independence.

From there, we tackle what happens the moment the money lands: protecting capital, understanding FSCS limits, when NS&I can make sense, and why a cash management plan for the first 12 to 24 months prevents panic. We also cover behavioural traps like analysis paralysis and market timing, plus how portfolio stress testing across long-term history can guide sensible withdrawal strategies. Finally, we demystify inheritance tax planning, trusts, and when a family investment company might be appropriate, including why acting before the capital event can widen your options.
