Free First Read

Get a first read on your DSO offer

A structured intake for dentists who already have a live offer, LOI, or APA and want a dentist-side gut check before they commit.

By Blane Jackson, DDS/MBA · Practicing dentist and multi-practice owner/operator · Updated April 2026

What you get

A first-pass seller-side read of the obvious red flags
A note on what looks market-standard versus buyer-favorable
A recommendation for the next professional to involve if the deal is moving fast

This is educational and directional. It is not legal, tax, or financial advice, and it does not replace transaction counsel.

Offer Intake

Submit the basics

Keep it simple. This is a first read of high-level categories, not a document review or full diligence package. Do not include confidential figures, contract text, patient information, or PHI.

I have read the Privacy and Data Handling notice and will not submit confidential documents, contract text, patient information, or PHI through this form or ordinary email.

This request does not create a paid order or authorize document transfer. Do not email LOIs, APAs, offer PDFs, patient information, or PHI.

Request Received

Your high-level request is queued

Do not email LOIs, APAs, offer PDFs, patient information, or PHI. The free first read is limited to the high-level categories submitted in the form while secure confidential-document intake is paused.

Paid ordering is temporarily paused: no payment should be made until a secure document-transfer route is implemented, deployed, and verified.
