Dedicated to the dental sector

Montrose Capital was founded to support dental practice acquisitions with the depth of expertise the sector deserves. We advise buyers at every stage — from identifying the right opportunity through to funding and completion.

We understand the dynamics that drive dental practice economics across the UK and Ireland: NHS and HSE contract structures, private and mixed-model revenue, associate retention, patient demographics, and the funding landscape for healthcare acquisitions.

Whether you're a first-time buyer, an associate stepping up to ownership, or a group building a multi-site portfolio, we bring financial rigour and sector knowledge to every transaction.

Sector Specialism

We focus exclusively on dental. That depth of knowledge means sharper advice and better outcomes for every transaction.

Funding & Structuring

We help you build the right capital structure and connect you with lenders who understand healthcare cashflows.

Cross-Border Reach

Active across the UK and Ireland, with insight into both markets and the networks to match.

What we do

Advisory support across the full lifecycle of a dental practice acquisition.

Acquisition Sourcing

We identify and screen dental practice opportunities that match your criteria — location, size, revenue mix, and growth profile — so you see the right deals, not just the listed ones.

Due Diligence Support

We help you evaluate target practices thoroughly — reviewing financials, revenue quality, patient demographics, and key risks before you commit.

Funding Solutions

Access to healthcare-specialist lenders and funding structures. We help you secure acquisition finance — senior debt, mezzanine, or equity — on terms that work for dental cashflows.

Deal Structuring

Earn-outs, deferred consideration, vendor loans, equity rollovers — we structure transactions to optimise your returns, manage risk, and align incentives post-completion.

Valuation & Pricing Support

Independent valuation analysis to ensure you pay the right price. We benchmark against comparable transactions and stress-test assumptions before you make an offer.

Transaction Management

We coordinate the full transaction process — liaising with solicitors, accountants, lenders, and the vendor's broker — so nothing falls through the cracks on the way to completion.

From conversation to completion

A structured, confidential process designed to achieve the right result at every stage.
