———————————————————————
Cash flow feeling tight while your practice ambitions keep growing? We dive into the real mechanics of refinancing for dentists and show how the right structure can lower monthly payments, unlock equity, and create the headroom to expand with confidence. Rather than chasing a headline rate, we focus on the three levers that truly move the needle: loan amount, interest rate, and term—and how blended and partially amortising loans can beat a small rate cut when it comes to monthly affordability.
Kevin breaks down why refinancing is broader than most owners realise, from releasing capital to buy equipment or a second site, to restructuring short-term debts that strain cash flow. We explore blended loans that combine property and goodwill into one manageable term, interest-only elements that help a deal service when goodwill valuations are high, and unsecured options up to mid-six figures that avoid valuation and legal fees. For startups that have grown fast, we explain how stronger accounts after 18–24 months can open the door to cheaper, longer-term facilities that consolidate asset finance and free cash to complete surgeries.
You’ll hear practical, anonymised case studies: clients cutting thousands per month by shifting to partially amortising structures without borrowing more, buyers who held repayments steady while fitting out additional surgeries, and a bridge-to-refi path that secured a property before planning, later simplified through an unsecured refinance. We also discuss evolving bank policies—longer goodwill terms, flexibility around leases, and rising loan-to-values—and why matching products to your practice plan matters more than picking a single “best” lender.
