Supporting Medical Professionals Through Growth and Restructuring
At Dolman Bateman, we understand that every medical practice, whether newly established or long-running, faces two ongoing challenges:
Growth and Restructure.
Both have complex financial, tax, and operational implications that require the right advice at the right time.

Wanting to set up your own practice?
Each medical field and practice is different, so a structure that works for your fellow Doctor may not be effective in your situation. Setting up your practice right from the start is crucial. The right structure helps you to save on tax and also protect your family assets in the event of litigation. Our background in forensic accounting cases involving professional negligence give us an edge on the competition when it comes to providing advice on the best way to set up your practice.
Growth: Planning for the Next Stage
As your practice expands, so too do the decisions that must be made, often under pressure. You may find yourself needing:
-
Additional staff or a practice manager
-
Larger premises or the opportunity to purchase your own rooms
-
A second location or the integration of other doctors into your practice
-
Updated or additional medical equipment
Each of these decisions has tax, legal and commercial consequences. Questions we regularly assist medical professionals with include:
-
Should you buy or lease your premises?
-
What’s the most tax-effective way to structure your leases?
-
Should your practice or a separate entity own the medical equipment?
-
Is your current or proposed lease fair and market-aligned?
-
What’s a reasonable remuneration package for practice managers or other doctors?
Having the right structure in place from the start or knowing when to change it can make all the difference.
Restructuring: Adapting to Change
Whether your practice is evolving through growth or responding to internal changes, restructuring is often necessary. You may be:
-
Merging with or acquiring another practice with a different structure
-
Parting ways with a business partner or associate
-
Revisiting how property or key assets are held
-
Re-evaluating existing trusts or ownership structures to better suit your current needs
These changes need to be approached strategically, with full awareness of the tax and legal implications. Our team can help you assess your options, model out different scenarios, and guide you through the most appropriate path forward.
