Absolute wealth of knowledge, they are market leaders in this for a reason! Andy is great at breaking down everything into easy to digest points, helping to navigate the minefield of buying/selling dental practices that exists today. Thanks again and looking forward to working with you again in the near future - Nav

FTA give a truly excellent service. Great to deal with and they keep you updated regularly. From the initial meeting with Henry for a valuation you then have your own sales manager for day to day contact. Georgia was a great manager and found us a buyer very quickly. Totally recommend.

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. Andy goes out of his way in his personal time to help you if you need any help and we’ve also had a fantastic help from David Brewer when we were purchasing our first practice.The added bonus is that Andy’s podcast provide an excellent insight into all things to do with the dental profession and more.

We have come to know Andy and Chris and the team at FTA due to our mutual interest in supporting people to find, develop and create their dream practices. Their passion for what they do was clear from the start and its always a pleasure when our paths cross and we can support each other. True professionals who really know their stuff.

Couldn’t recommend FTA more highly. Their professionalism and broad range of services offered are second to none. Personally I have been dealing with David Grainger and his team who have gone above and beyond in helping both secure finance and signpost necessary services throughout the practice purchase. The support and advice offered throughout are incredible. Would rate six stars if I could.

Frank Taylor & Associates were great at helping value the business, finding lots of buyers, organising the viewings, gathering feedback, and helping with the offer process.From Emma who dealt with the valuation, to Kristi, Georgia and Lauren who led the viewing process, and Lis who oversaw everything and remained in touch with all sides throughout. A well joined up team with great communication and seller empathy.

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!!!

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 offer a number of services linked to wealth management, media support and legal support.Frank Taylor have been involved within the dental industry for over 20 years. They are experts! They want to form relationships with their clients and I could not speak highly enough of them.

During the meeting he was very empathetic, knowledgeable and understanding of my situation and my business aspirations. He offered great advice and reassurance for how to navigate the daunting next step in my career.

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.

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.
