Business Loans and Lines of Credit for Dental Professionals

Is Your Dental Practice Ready To Grow?

ARF Financial provides business loans and lines of credit designed for dentists, orthodontists, periodontists, prosthodontists, endodontists and oral surgeons. With an established track record of providing financing to dental professionals, our team of seasoned loan consultants specialize in customizing one of our lending products to meet your needs and keep your practice profitable. Do you have student loans? No problem! Most dentists and dental practitioners come with student loans, and we have loan products designed specifically to take those into account. We understand your unique needs and have loans and lines of credit to fit every situation.

At ARF, our focus is to get you the capital you need, and we can do it fast, all while providing seasoned guidance to help you maximize your return on investment. Running a successful dental practice takes much more than just dental school training. It also takes ongoing access to capital to remain relevant and profitable. Banks continue to tighten their lending requirements resulting in diminished access to such dental practice loans. This means that many dental practitioners are forced into more expensive financing options such as merchant cash advances to make ends meet.

Even without an immediate need, dental professionals are establishing lines of credit now. Being prepared is smart. They realize how growth opportunities and unexpected expenses can arise quickly, and having quick access to committed working capital allows them to be ready for anything!

When choosing the right business lender, it’s important to compare loan size and repayment terms because…

Size Matters!

Larger Loan Amounts, Longer Terms & Big Rewards

Big projects usually mean big upfront investments, something you can’t get from a merchant cash advance. If you’re ready to take your dental practice to the next level, we have financing that’s the perfect fit. You can now borrow up to $1,000,000 with terms up to 36 months to fund your big projects while keeping your costs low. Our average loan size is over six times larger and repayment terms are more than three times longer than a Merchant Cash Advance. Larger loan amounts mean you can invest in growth opportunities that will make a significant impact to your bottom line, and longer terms mean your payments are manageable and won’t interfere with your cash flow!

What is a dental practice loan or line of credit?

Our dental practice financing is a customized business loan and lines of credit designed specifically for dental professionals. These loans and lines of credit take into consideration the unique needs of dentists including business model, partnership structure and timeliness of funding for emergencies. Our dental practice financing options are also used to retain equity or buy back equity from business partners. Some owners simply use our loans and lines of credit as bridge financing until payments come through from insurers.

Who needs dental practice financing?

Dental practice financing is available to any dentist who needs capital to fund projects such as equipment purchases, inventory financing, building renovations, practice expansions, upgrading computer systems, paying off outstanding debt, buying out a business partner, licenses, signage, adding cosmetic procedures/services, marketing and advertising, opening a new practice, and stabilizing cash flow for emergencies and opportunities. These are just a few recurring reasons dental professionals choose ARF Financial first.

Smart dental professionals are choosing our financing because rates are low, repayment terms are longer, and payments are fixed. Repayment of our loans and lines of credit are not tied to your credit card receipts which means your payments remain the same, perfect for keeping your cash flow stable, with a working capital cushion that’s available when needed.

Dental practice loan versus a merchant cash advance.

A merchant cash advance is nothing like a dental practice loan. It is a form of factoring where a financial services company buys a portion of your future credit card sales at a discount, typically up to 38%, and then electronically debits a percentage of your daily credit card receipts until the agreed upon amount has been paid back.

The problem? As shown in the graph, the more money you make, the faster they get paid back, thus raising the cost of funds significantly.

Dental professionals, like many business owners, are constantly being offered cash advances by their credit card processors. However, with many cash advances, your payment can change each week, or even daily, based upon your sales. While merchant cash advances appear to be a quick and easy option for dentists, but it’s actually much more expensive in the long run. ARF Financial offers low, fixed weekly payments that never change – great for budgeting and cash flow. As with most merchant cash advances, you may be required to change credit card processors depending on the company offering it. With ARF Financial, there is no need to change your existing credit card processor, and there are no complicated reconciliations to perform.

If your business is growing, don’t pay back your cash advance with a percentage of your Mastercard and Visa sales! As a successful dentist, why undermine your company’s operating health by giving away your increased sales? Also, unlike a merchant cash advance, the interest on our dental practice loans is tax deductible. This effectively lowers the total cost of your funds in the long run.

A dental practice loan with ARF Financial is the preferred choice compared to a merchant cash advance. Rates are lower, payments are fixed, terms are longer and the interest you pay is tax deductible. Most importantly, as your sales increase, your payments remain fixed. That means you, the owner/practitioner, reap the benefits of increased sales, not the cash advance company.

No matter what the future holds, ARF Financial is your best choice for dental practice loans and lines of credit to capitalize on new business opportunities – often when conventional banks simply won’t consider it.
