Practice transitions · Dental & eye care

The right practice, the right partner, the right terms.

Arheam Equity brings practice owners and acquisition partners together properly — with clear information on both sides, real alignment on fit, and a process built to hold up long after close.

Fit before price
The best outcomes start with the right match, not the loudest offer.
Transparent on both sides
Everyone knows who we represent and how we're engaged.
Terms, not just the multiple
What happens after close matters as much as the number.
What we do differently

Most deals don't fail on price. They fail on fit.

A transition works when the practice, the partner, and the terms genuinely line up — and when both sides go in with the same information. Too often the process is rushed, one-sided, or built on a number alone. We do it the other way around.

Where transitions go wrong

A practice is matched to whoever moved first, not to the partner who actually fits it.

One side is working with better information than the other.

The conversation is all about the multiple — nothing about life after close.

Structure and expectations surface late, when trust is hardest to rebuild.

How we run it

We match on criteria first — geography, size, payer mix, culture, and the owner's goals.

Everyone knows who we represent on a given deal and how we're engaged. No ambiguity.

We work the full deal — structure, retained equity, stay-on terms, post-close autonomy.

Real diligence up front, so the deal that signs is the deal that holds.

Highest value at close

Value comes from being properly understood.

Practices are routinely undervalued not because buyers are unfair, but because the numbers are never presented properly — add-backs missed, growth story untold, capacity overlooked. We make sure a practice is seen for what it actually is, which serves the owner and the partner acquiring it.

Real valuation work

We normalize your financials the way a buyer's diligence team will — including the add-backs owners routinely leave on the table.

Genuine matching

We only approach partners whose criteria actually fit the practice — which means fewer wasted conversations and better outcomes on both sides.

Terms that hold

Structure, stay-on length, equity class, and what happens if targets slip — negotiated before you sign, not discovered after.

How we work

A process you can see all the way through.

1

A private conversation

You tell us your goals, your timeline, and what a good outcome looks like. Nothing leaves this conversation without your approval.

2

Position and value the practice

We build the financial picture properly — collections, normalized earnings, payer mix, capacity — so your practice is presented at its true strength.

3

Bring the right buyers

We approach only groups whose criteria genuinely fit, anonymously, and create real competition for your practice.

4

Negotiate the whole deal

Price, structure, retained equity, stay-on terms, and post-close autonomy — all of it, with you seeing every option side by side.

5

Through to close and after

We stay in the process until it's signed, and we're available well after — because a transition is judged on year three, not day one.

Where we work

Two fields. Deep focus.

We focus on two fields where relationships, discretion, and clinical nuance decide outcomes — and where we know the buyers, the criteria, and the market well.

Dental practices

General and specialty owners exploring a sale, a partnership, retained equity, or simply what their practice is worth in today's market.

Eye-care practices

Optometry and ophthalmology owners weighing growth capital, a phased transition, or a full exit on terms that actually work for them.

For DSO & private equity partners

A sourcing partner that respects your buy box.

We work alongside DSOs, dental partnership organizations, and private equity groups as an outside origination team — bringing you qualified, off-market opportunities that genuinely match your criteria, so your team spends its time closing rather than prospecting.

Off-market origination

We reach owners directly, long before they list — so you're not competing in an auction against every other group in the market.

Screened to your criteria

Geography, collections, operatory count, payer mix, doctor count, stay-on expectations — we qualify against your box before we ever bring you a name.

Sellers who are ready

By the time we introduce an owner, they understand the model, their goals are clear, and they're prepared for a real conversation — not a cold name.

Send us your acquisition criteria.

Tell us the markets, size, and profile you're actively looking for, and we'll go find it. We work exclusively inside your box and bring you opportunities approved by your team before any introduction.
