EPISODE DESCRIPTION

Attorneys review leases.
But who’s reviewing your construction contract?
Who’s aligning your contractor’s agreement with your master lease?
And when should your CPA actually be involved?

In Part 6 of this series, we expand the conversation beyond lease review and dive into the broader professional team that shapes your dental startup.

This episode covers:

• Why every legally binding contract — not just your lease — should be reviewed
• The risk of misalignment between your lease and contractor agreement
• Builder’s risk insurance and the common misconceptions around it
• The difference between liability coverage and developer risk
• When to involve your CPA in the startup process
• Why CPAs give perspective — not permission
• The financial reality of startup vs. acquisition decisions

We also begin discussing startup marketing — and why branding, design, and marketing must speak the same language from the beginning.

Opening a dental practice isn’t just about finding space and signing contracts.
It’s about aligning every professional involved — legally, financially, and strategically.

If you’re early in the process, this episode will help you avoid costly miscommunication between advisors.
