Can you really buy a dental practice with no money upfront?
In this insightful episode, Kevin Saunders clears up the myths and misunderstandings surrounding full financing for dental practices.

We begin by confirming that yes, one hundred percent finance is possible, but the path looks different for established owners compared to first time buyers. For those who already own a practice, Kevin explains how to unlock equity from your existing business while maintaining the typical eighty percent loan to value ratio that banks require across your portfolio. This approach can open doors to expansion opportunities that many dentists have never considered.

First time buyers face a different set of rules. Kevin outlines the lending thresholds currently available, which are around three hundred and fifty thousand pounds for private practices and five hundred thousand pounds for NHS practices when buying solo, with higher limits for partnerships. He explains how banks evaluate risk, what makes an applicant appealing, and why preparing your financial profile well in advance can significantly improve your borrowing power.

We also address common myths about interest rates, explain the differences between buying an established practice and starting a squat, and share practical guidance on when full financing is a smart move. Kevin’s core advice is simple: take the maximum amount available, because you are using the bank’s money to invest in a valuable asset.

This episode is essential listening for any dentist planning to buy or grow their practice, offering clear guidance to help you make confident and informed financial decisions.
