Dental and specialist medical practices often require substantial investment in equipment, technology, premises and fit-outs. Dental chairs, imaging systems, treatment rooms and specialist clinical equipment may be essential to delivering services, yet lenders differ in how they assess these assets and the underlying practice.

At 3LANE Finance, we help dentists, dental specialists and specialist medical practitioners arrange finance for practice acquisitions, equipment, fit-outs, commercial premises and business growth. Before comparing lenders, we consider the practitioner’s experience, ownership structure, income, practice cash flow and proposed transaction.

Some lenders offer specialised professional lending policies for eligible medical and dental practitioners. Eligibility, security requirements and lending terms vary according to profession, registration, experience and financial position. We identify policies aligned with your circumstances and coordinate the property, equipment and business facilities required for the transaction.

How Lenders Assess Dental and Specialist Practices

How we help

We assess your funding requirements from the lender’s perspective before recommending a structure. This includes reviewing your practice cash flow, borrowing capacity, security, contribution, transaction timing and the policies available to your profession.

We then compare suitable options across major banks, second-tier lenders and specialist medical funders. Where a transaction involves a practice acquisition, equipment and premises, we coordinate the facilities so the funding works together and is available when required.
