abstract: This article provides insights into the process of financing a dental practice. It provides information on the different options, points out key considerations and potential pitfalls that can lead to a less-than-ideal experience. Astute buyers know, or quickly learn, that there is more to a well-structured financing package than simply the interest rate. Thorough preparation, lender selection, and offer analysis are the critical components of a smooth buying experience and well-structured loan.
