Dental Equipment Finance

Dental Equipment Finance for Practices & Clinics

Dental equipment can represent a significant investment when establishing, expanding or modernising a practice.

At My Finance Consultants, we compare dental equipment finance across a broad range of specialist business lenders.

We help practice owners finance new and used dental equipment with structures designed around the asset, cash flow and repayment requirements.

What Dental Equipment Can Be Financed?

Finance is available for a broad range of eligible dental and clinical equipment.

This can include dental chairs, treatment units, imaging systems, sterilisation equipment and other practice assets.

Technology and selected laboratory equipment may also be included where lender requirements are satisfied.

Dealer and equipment-supplier purchases generally provide the widest lender choice.

Used equipment may also be financed, subject to its age, condition and value.

Dental Equipment Finance Options

Chattel Mortgage

A chattel mortgage is commonly used where the practice wants to purchase and own the equipment.

The lender provides funds towards the purchase while registering security over the financed assets.

Repayments are made over an agreed term.

Balloon Payments

Selected lenders allow a balloon payment to remain at the end of the finance term.

This can reduce regular repayments and help preserve practice cash flow.

A larger balloon also leaves a larger final amount to repay or refinance.

We compare different repayment structures before you proceed.

Leasing Options

Selected dental equipment may also be financed through a commercial lease.

Leasing can be useful where equipment is regularly replaced or upgraded.

The available structure and end-of-term options depend on the lender and equipment.

Your accountant should confirm the tax treatment of the proposed finance arrangement.

New Practice, Expansion & Replacement Equipment

Dental equipment finance can support different stages of practice growth.

You may be establishing a new clinic, adding another treatment room or replacing ageing equipment.

Existing practices may also use equipment finance to expand capacity or introduce new technology.

The lender may consider your professional experience, practice income and the equipment being purchased.

New practices can also have options where the overall application supports the proposed finance.

What Lenders Consider

The lender will assess both your practice and the equipment being financed.

This can include trading history, existing debts, credit profile and ability to meet the proposed repayments.

For new practices, professional experience and projected business performance may also be relevant.

The equipment's age, value and expected working life can influence the available finance term.

Established practices may qualify for streamlined documentation with selected lenders.

Larger or more complex transactions may require financial statements, tax returns or additional supporting information.
