Summary
81 days from "I think I want to sell" to the money clearing. No broker. No lawyer. Dr. Michael Filosi did the whole thing himself. He sold the largest dental practice in Adelaide to private equity at 41, at a multiple well above the industry norm. Ten years earlier he'd bought it with a possum living in the wall, two chairs, and pen-and-paper appointment books, the practice nobody else wanted. He saw the busy patient base underneath the mess, took it from worst to first, and built it into a genuinely sale-ready business. That's why, when he finally decided he'd had enough, it sold at warp speed. We get into: Why the sale moved in 81 days when most deals take months The buy-in structure that locked his purchase price years in advance What frictionless actually means to a buyer, and how he engineered it Why he refused to let private equity condition him down on price The four Ds model he used to get out of the chair and design the business Build it to sell long before you ever want to, and the exit takes care of itself.
