NHS dental practice serving a suburb of Derby

About this business

This Derby practice provides NHS general dentistry to families in the surrounding suburb, from leased premises. It has traded since 2021 with a team of five. Turnover has drifted down from £520k to £470k over the period, but adjusted EBITDA has moved the other way, from £89k to £98k, as costs were brought under control. Net profit is £81k. The sale covers the lease, the surgery equipment and the patient list, and a new owner could look at whether income can be lifted again.
