WHY
YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ASSIST TO PRACTICE
Because the Benefits of Our
Services Are "SPECIAL:"
- Savings:
In addition to an already high quality and high value
appraisal fee, there are discounts are available to clients
who return the signed appraisal agreement within a week of
delivery.
- Peace of Mind:
Our appraisal services come with a free 12-month appraisal
update. Approximately one year after the original appraisal, Assist to
Practice is happy to work with you to update the practice
prospectus (appraisal), practice
figures and the fair market value based upon the most recent
data available.
- Experience:
When the resulting figures could mean the difference of tens
of thousands of dollars, you want an appraiser not only with
the experience, but with a network of professionals with
additional insight. That's what Assist to Practice offers.
- Comprehensiveness:
Our appraisals have been called the most comprehensive around.
Not just a sheet of "numbers," our appraisals can also be used as an
effective practice prospectus during sales, marketing and
associate recruiting activities.
- Incomparable
Value:
Considering our service fees and the quality of
our services, there's no other company like us.
- Affordability:
Our low appraisal fees begin, for small, single general dentistry
practices, at just $750, with discounted services from just
$500. Our consulting
services are available for hourly rates below $100 or for
"Flat-fee" rates for specific projects.
- Loyalty:
Because of our flat-rate per project fee schedule, we have eliminated the
inherent conflict of interest faced by some consultants who
might try to "stretch out" the project time in order
to bill more hours.
