Selling my practice through FTA, I found the team to be exceptionally professional. Not only did FTA find me the right price, but also the right buyer. Georgia, Lis and the team provided an excellent service and were extremely informative. Thank you for your work!

Andy, Chris, Ollie and the wider FTA team have been absolutely fantastic to work with. Always prepared, highly knowledgeable, and focused on doing the right thing rather than just pushing a deal through. They genuinely care and have consistently gone above and beyond for us. If you’re considering buying or selling a dental clinic, these are the people you want on your side. Highly recommend.

We bought our first practice a couple of years ago and have been working hard to develop and grow it.I reached out to Andy for a chat about reviewing our progress and planning forward with a current valuation. Andy was so easy to talk to and clearly very knowledgable. We’re looking forward to working closely with Frank Taylor to help guide our growth and direction.Whether you’re thinking of selling, planning an exit strategy or interested in reviewing where you’re at with your practice, reach out to Frank Taylor. I highly recommend Andy!

Had a really helpful introductory conversation with Andy. Clear, honest perspective on how banks and buyers view dental practices, especially from a first time buyer standpoint. Appreciated the transparency and lack of pressure.

The very capable and efficient team at Frank Taylor & Associates helped me to sell my dental practice with the minimum hassle or delay. The whole process was very clearly explained right from the start and a prospectus produced and advertised in no time at all. Interested parties were vetted to avoid time wasting and full support was provided once we received an offer. Throughout the process communications were clear and there was always somebody to provided advice. The sales process took as long as expected and the level of support was of the same standard all the way to completion. I'm very glad that I chose FT to sell my business and I can honestly recommend their services to any of my colleagues.

My experience with FTA and Andy has been nothing short of exceptional. Over ten years ago, they guided and supported me through the purchase of my first practice, and since then, our relationship has remained consistently strong and positive. Most recently, FTA have been instrumental in supporting me through the sale of my practice, providing expert guidance at every stage of the process. Their professionalism, knowledge, and dedication have been invaluable. I would wholeheartedly recommend FTA to any colleagues or friends looking to purchase, expand their portfolio, or sell their business with confidence and a clear, well-structured plan.

Andy Acton (and his lovely team) have helped me through several aspects of my dental portfolio, including practice acquisition, finance and more. I have known Andy for several years now and so, I am confident to say that his advice is comparable to non-other. Thank you Kristi, Georgie, Chloe, Liz and the rest of the team! Strongly recommend FTA without a shadow of a doubt.

Newcastle University School of Dental Sciences had the pleasure of hosting Mr Andy Acton for the evening. The aim, to discuss all things practice ownership and the business of dentistry. Something not covered by the dental curriculum but vital to development after graduating. Andy was generous with his time and his knowledge and so many have benefitted from it. Thank you Andy.

Having attended a few seminars organised by Frank Taylor & Associates in the past, I enrolled onto the Leadership Lessons lecture by Chris Barrow recently, wanting to learn about a topic not readily covered via online seminars or by other providers. I wasn't disappointed as I was educated, inspired and entertained in equal measure. I'm appreciative that FT&A arranged this event and opened it up to all. Much obliged and keep up the great work.

Georgia Ridgewell-May at Frank Taylor & Associates has been instrumental in our search for the right dental practice. Though my business partner and I haven't made a purchase yet, Georgia's guidance through the complex market has been invaluable. Her quick, thoughtful responses and her knack for making herself easily accessible have significantly eased our journey. Her dedication and ability to understand our unique needs stand out, making our decision-making process smoother and more informed. Georgia's professionalism and genuine care for her clients shine through, making her an exceptional asset to anyone navigating the dental practice landscape. Thanks Georgia!

I’ve been a member of FTA for a few years and the advice Andy and his team have provided have been invaluable.

I stumbled across Andy through a colleague suggesting he would be a great person to answer some of my questions on practice ownership. After answering my first 2 questions, he then arranged a zoom call on the same day and gave me great advice. He booked me in for 30 mins but gave me an hour of his time for no personal gain whatsoever! Absolute fountain of knowledge, definitely a go to within the industry!!!

Asad Chaudhry

13:18 17 Feb 21

I asked to setup a one-to-one call with Andy Acton following a Clubhouse chat I was listening to. He was prompt to get that arranged and the conversation we had was incredibly valuable to me as someone in the market to buy a dental practice. He was able to answer all my questions in detail and was very personable. I would recommend anyone looking to purchase a dental practice to get in touch with him.

Frank Taylor & Associates helped me purchase my first dental practice. I must say that Andy Acton and the entire team are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and very professional!They offer a first class service and I would not recommend anyone else to buy or sell a dental practice or help broker a practice purchase.

They want to form relationships with their clients and I could not speak highly enough of them.

This highly professional and experienced organisation were instrumental in making the sale of my practice a success. Of all the valuations I had done they were the ones that correctly assessed and subsequently delivered the best return for my business.During each step there was a personal contact guiding me through the often arduous and convoluted process of selling a practice. Their knowledge of the dental sector was invaluable in getting the process to completion. There were frequent updates and support.which continued well past the phase of finding a buyer and negotiating a price.As one of the largest dental estate agents I felt that my practice was marketed as widely as possible and it was a great comfort to know that I was selling through such a well respected agency.

Andrew Hawker

11:40 09 Jan 19

I found Frank Taylor Associates to be very knowledgeable and helpful, throughout the process of selling my dental practice. There was a lot of work to do to get through the journey, but FTA were always quickly available over the phone and gave me first class support. I would recommend their services to anyone else who is selling their practice.
