PKF Francis Clark advises DenGro shareholders on strategic sale to Agilio Software

PKF Francis Clark advised the shareholders of DenGro, a leading dental CRM platform, on the successful sale of the business to Agilio Software, a private equity-backed provider of dental practice solutions.

This strategic acquisition by Agilio Software creates the UK’s first fully integrated patient engagement and growth platform for dental practices.

A multidisciplinary team from PKF Francis Clark – comprising Nick Tippett, Nathan Holland, Nicola Manclark and Doug Oakman – supported DenGro’s shareholders throughout the transaction. The team provided expert guidance during negotiations and the due diligence process to ensure a smooth and efficient completion, as well as delivering specialist tax advice.

Neil Stephen, CEO of Bath-based DenGro, said: “It was a pleasure to work with PKF Francis Clark. Nathan and Doug were always on hand to provide support throughout the process, helping to guide us to completion. I would recommend PKF Francis Clark to anyone who is considering entering a sales process.”

He added: “Joining Agilio represents a transformative step for DenGro and the dental practices we serve. PKF Francis Clark’s guidance was instrumental in navigating the complexities of the deal and ensuring a successful outcome for all parties.”

Nathan Holland, corporate finance associate director at PKF Francis Clark’s Bristol office, said: “We were delighted to advise DenGro through the sales process to Agilio Software. This marks an exciting time for the whole DenGro team and we wish them all the best for the future. I look forward to watching DenGro continue to thrive and provide value to the dental market under new ownership.”

The acquisition enables Agilio to enhance its offering by integrating DenGro’s smart lead conversion engine with its existing services, including a bespoke dental marketing division, to create a platform that empowers practices to attract, convert and retain patients more effectively.

Legal advisers to DenGro’s shareholders were Jordan Thomas and Jack Harvey at Foot Anstey.

PKF Francis Clark’s corporate finance team has a strong track record of advising technology and healthcare businesses on strategic transactions, combining deep sector knowledge with hands-on deal execution expertise.
