About Spot On Business Planning

Work in partnership

We work in partnership with dental business owners to boost financial performance and transfer leadership and commercial skills. Our engagement delivers reassurance, brings confidence to decision-making, and transforms your business outcomes.

Transfer leadership & team skills

We transfer leadership and team skills that build a growth mindset. We develop managers, equip front of house teams with tools to engage more effectively, support TCs in their conversion effectiveness and help you build a robust, effective patient journey.

Transforming under-performing businesses

We specialise in transforming under-performing dental businesses and taking well-performing practices to new levels. Using a detailed, tailored approach we provide analysis and advice specific to your business, helping you to take control and achieve your flavour of success. In doing so we maximise performance, doubling profits and exit value.

De-risking business decisions

Imagine seeing the output of your decision in advance so you can determine the best approach. Whatever decisions you need to make: changing rates of pay, investing in new kit, extending your practice or buying a new one, maximising your exit value, converting your NHS contract… we will build you scenarios in numbers so you can see the outcome and decide which route is best.

Implementing strategic changes

By understanding the real numbers, making the right decisions and implementing strategic changes, we create value and positively influence the way you operate your business – forever. And we work in partnership with you throughout the process, supporting you to the fulfilment of your strategic objectives.

What we help you with:

Strategy & strategic planning
Financial analysis & control

Why join Spot on Business Planning?

So, what sets us apart from others?

We stand out from the crowd for one simple reason: our expertise in understanding and interpreting numbers. Nobody knows numbers like we do and that’s important because numbers determine everything: what practice you buy and what you can afford to do with it from the outset; what you get for it when you sell and your profitability for every year you are in business. Everything you do in between buying and selling influences your numbers and that’s where we add unique value. But our value goes far beyond just numbers.
