How to tell

What we do — and what we will never do.

Fraudsters imitate real firms. The clearest way to spot an impersonator is that they ask for something we would never ask for.

A genuine Wolfson contact will

  • Give you a name you can match to the photos above
  • Email from @wolfsonequity.com, @sentinelcorpdev.com, or @sentineltransitions.com
  • Be happy for you to hang up and call our main line to check them
  • Reference your business by name and explain why we are interested
  • Answer any question you ask, including who our buyer is and how we are paid
  • Accept "no thank you" the first time you say it

We will never

  • Ask you for money, a deposit, or an upfront fee of any kind
  • Ask for your bank account, credit card, SSN or SIN, or any password
  • Ask you to sign anything before you have spoken to a real person
  • Contact your staff, patients, customers, landlord, or lender
  • List, advertise, or publish your business anywhere
  • Pressure you with a deadline or a "today only" offer

If anyone claiming to represent Wolfson Equity does any of the things on the right, they are not from Wolfson Equity. Please tell us at [email protected] so we can act on it.

Why you

Why we reached out in the first place.

We buy and invest in businesses across healthcare and technology — as principals, with our own capital, not as a broker collecting listings.

The businesses worth buying are almost never for sale. They do not appear on listing sites, and their owners are not looking. That is precisely why we approach owners directly: if we waited for businesses to come to market, we would only ever see the ones already being auctioned to everybody else.

So someone on our team identified your business as a genuine fit — either for a buyer we represent, or for our own portfolio. That is the entire reason for the call.

You may have no interest in selling, now or ever. That is a completely fine answer, and it is the answer we hear most often. Tell us and we will close the file.

Since 2020 we have reached more than 1M owners, held over 5,000 qualified conversations, and supported 100+ closings on transactions from $800K to $96M, with $500M+ deployed. Most of those started exactly the way yours did — with one unexpected call.

If you are a dentist

We did not arrive in dentistry last week.

The most common reason an owner ignores a call like ours is the assumption that the caller knows nothing about their profession. In our case that assumption is wrong, and it is easy to check.

Wolfson Equity is the investment arm of Buzzy Branding Corp. — the same registered company, under the name it has traded as for years while working with dental practices, orthodontists, and Dental Service Organizations on marketing, patient growth, and acquisition strategy.

In that time the team has been featured in and interviewed by dental associations, and hosted Leading Dentistry Through Uncertainty: Compliance, Emotional Intelligence, and Profit — a working conversation among dental leaders about the problems the profession was actually facing. Members of our senior team have helped dentists sell their practices and helped buyers acquire clinics. Dentists who have worked with us include Dr. Salim Kapadia, Dr. Lionel Lenkinski, Dr. Sam Mazahreh, Dr. Bobby Chagger, and Dr. Michael Le.

You can see that history for yourself at buzzybranding.com/dental. It is the same company and the same people who are calling you now.

No obligation

What actually happens if you reply.

  1. A conversation, not a pitch. Fifteen or twenty minutes. We ask about the business; you ask whatever you want about us. No documents, nothing signed.
  2. You decide whether to go further. Most owners stop here, and many come back years later. Both are normal.
  3. If you want a number, we prepare one. A valuation range based on real closings in your sector. Free, and yours to keep whatever you decide.
  4. Nothing becomes public. Ever. No listing, no advertisement, no contact with your team. Confidentiality is policy, not a favour.
  5. You can stop at any point. Including immediately after this page. Say the word and we close the file and stop contacting you.

Still unsure?

Call us and check. We would rather you did.

Do not use a number from an email you are unsure about — use this one. It is our main line, published across every one of our websites.
