Data Mining for Brokers
The best leads aren't bought; they are synthesized. By combining federal, state, and local databases, brokers can see the exact moment a practice begins preparing for a sale.
Essential Databases
- NPPES: Tracks NPI issuance, taxonomy (specialty), and practice addresses.
- Florida Sunbiz: Tracks LLC formations, registered agents, and annual reports.
- Florida DOH: Tracks license status, disciplinary actions, and renewal dates.

How do you find out if a dentist owns their building?
