Deal

Sale of One Step By Step Limited, trading as North Hill Dental, to Dental Beauty Group Ltd

Two award winning dental practices in Colchester partnered with Dental Beauty Partners, one of the UK’s leading dental groups, in a deal led by PKF Smith Cooper.

The North Hill Dental and Layer Road practices joined Dental Beauty Partners’ growing fleet of practices across the UK, further enhancing their provision of exceptional dental care across London, the South East and the North West of England.

As part of the agreement, Principal Dentist Dr Sachin Sedani joined Dental Beauty Partners with a view to supporting the further growth of the existing practices, whilst also helping with the planned expansion across Essex. Dr Sedani is a specialist in dental implants, adult orthodontics and advanced dental care, having amassed sixteen years’ experience since qualifying from Guy’s Kings St Thomas’ School of dentistry, King’s College London.

Dr Sedani sought advice and support on this transaction from our transactional tax specialists. In addition to the provision of formal tax advice to the shareholders, we assisted with tax due diligence support and the provision of share purchase agreement advisory services.

“Bringing in a new partner to support us in the next stage of our journey was always going to be difficult, but I had no idea how challenging and complex the legal process itself was going to be. From the outset Adam and his team were outstanding, clearly knowledgeable, and highly experienced in the world of corporate deals. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to other business owners who are considering a sale, partnership or joint venture arrangement in the future.”

Adam Rollason, Tax Partner and Head of Transactions Tax at PKF Smith Cooper, led the team. He commented, “I am delighted to have advised Sachin on this transaction. It was a pleasure to work with him and his other advisers, and I have no doubt whatsoever that he will have a long and prosperous partnership with Dental Beauty Partners. I wish him all the best in the next stage of his career.”
