A score is not the whole story

Plenty of dentists carry a lower credit score than their practice deserves. Student debt from dental school, a buildout that ran over, a partner split or a rough patch during a slow year can all drag a personal score down while the practice itself keeps producing. Bad credit business loans for dental practices start from that reality.

We consider FICO 500+ and begin with a soft credit pull. Then we look hard at what your business bank statements show.

How funders weigh credit next to deposits

Credit is one input. Funders also look at how consistent your patient and insurance deposits are, how many negative balance days show up, and what existing obligations already come out of the account. A practice with steady deposits and clean statements gives a reviewer more to work with, even when the score is lower.

No single factor decides the outcome, and we will not pretend otherwise.

What the review actually looks at

When a dental practice with a lower credit score applies, we read the bank statements closely. Reviewers tend to focus on a few things: whether patient and insurance deposits arrive on a regular rhythm, how often the account dips below zero, whether existing loan or advance payments are already taking a large bite of monthly cash, and whether business and personal spending are mixed together.

None of these factors is judged on its own. A practice with a lower score and very consistent deposits reads differently than one with a similar score and erratic cash flow. Likewise, a recent dip in deposits during a renovation or a provider's leave can be explained when you apply, so tell us about it.

We also want you to borrow an amount your practice can carry comfortably. If your statements suggest a smaller amount makes more sense right now, we will say so. Funding that strains your cash flow does not help the practice or your credit over time.

What you can use the funding for

Funding runs from $25,000 to $5,000,000, with funding in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses.
