Business loans for dental practices

Funding for the new surgery, the refit or the scanner.

Growing a practice means investing ahead: a new surgery, an intraoral scanner, a refurb that suits private patients, or marketing for implants and aligners. We match limited company practices with one specialist who works with dentists.

  • £10k to £1m for limited company practices
  • Refurbishments, surgeries, equipment and marketing
  • Lenders that know NHS and private practice income
Free · No hard credit check · One specialist, not ten calls

Sound familiar?

Patient demand is there. The surgery space isn’t.

“We have a waiting list for implants but only three surgeries.”

A loan can fund a fourth surgery that starts paying back as soon as it’s booked up.

“The practice looks tired next to the new private clinic down the road.”

A refurbishment loan spreads the cost over the years the refit earns its keep.

“We want a scanner, but £30k up front is a lot.”

Funding spreads the cost. Asset finance is often a good fit too.

Good to know

What lenders often look at for dental practices

Income mix

NHS contract income and private fees are both considered. Steady NHS income can count in your favour.

Associates and staff

Lenders may ask how the practice performs if a key associate leaves.

Premises

Lease length or ownership matters for larger refurbishment loans.

Practice purchase

Buying a practice is usually a commercial mortgage or acquisition loan, arranged differently.

Honest check

Is a business loan right for your business?

Usually a good fit

  • Practices trading as a limited company
  • Usually 12 months or more trading
  • Established patient list

Harder to fund

  • Practices run as sole traders or partnerships
  • New squat practices with no trading history
  • Short leases

Not sure? That's what the call is for. If it isn't the right fit, your specialist will tell you and suggest what might work instead.
