Working with Mike Kowal was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. He was personable, highly responsive, and consistently communicative, taking the time to educate me throughout the entire process so I fully understood what was happening at every step.

What truly set Mike apart was his honesty. He reviewed multiple lender options with me in a fair, transparent way, walking me through the pros and cons of each and helping me understand every angle. He encouraged me to move forward only with what felt right for my business, never once making me feel pressured to choose him or Upwise. That level of professionalism is rare.

Mike also worked hard to build genuine personal rapport — something no other representative I spoke with did. He took the time to understand my business, explored different paths, and made sure I felt confident and comfortable throughout the decision-making process.

The follow-up from Mike and every member of his team has been above and beyond anything I’ve experienced with other lenders. Every interaction feels thoughtful, client-focused, supportive and most important- genuine. I’m incredibly grateful for the experience and would confidently recommend Mike to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, ethical, and truly client-first lending partner.

I was able to secure a business loan in an industry that typically has a hard time getting approved. Craig and the team at Upwise made it happen from start to finish. Professional, responsive, and results-driven. A+ experience all around!
Upwise Capital and Daniel Joseph were great in helping me obtain financing and grow my janitorial business. Mr. Joseph is quick, efficient and professional. Funding was complete in just a few hours. Daniel is very detailed and easy to work with. He stuck with me from beginning to end. Thank you Upwise Capital and Daniel for helping to expand my business. I appreciate all your help.
The rates for loans are horrible, and if you disagree with them, they get angry and hang up on you lol. It is clear they are in business to get the best deal for themselves, not the customer. Leo Lamb, one of their funding managers comes across like a used car salesman. When I called them out for their shady practices, he got very aggravated.

Update: Leo contacted me, and after basically insulting me concerning their prior behavior, I decided to let them run my application. After being ghosted for the day, they finally came back and denied due to another loan my business was involved in. These people get their feelings hurt way to easy to be in this business. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

The process was very simple and fast! Craig is a pro and helped so much during what I thought would be a stressful transaction. As we know it’s so hard to receive funding for cannabis, or so I thought! I highly recommend Upwise Capital.

We worked with Leo for our line of credit. We are a trucking company an can be a challenge to secure financing. The process was smooth and fast funding. Our only complaint would be that Leo was a little impatience when it came to our decision making. We are very thankful for the funding and would do business with them again. Thanks,

You are always hesitant when working with a finance firm to borrow money to grow your company But, I highly recommend Upwise Capital. Lou and Marc went out of their way to ensure everything was taken care of. Very professional in all steps taken to secure the financing I needed. I look forward to continuing the business relationship.
I rarely write reviews, but my experience with Leo was absolutely. Leo was patient, knowledgeable, and extremely responsive. During a hectic work week he continued to bare with me to be sure that i had all the information I was requesting. He got me the capital I needed within one day. I highly recommend this company!

Term Loan

A traditional business term loan is a lump sum of capital that you pay back with regular repayments at a fixed interest rate.  The “term” in “term loan” comes from its set repayment term length, which will typically be one to five years long. Most business owners use the proceeds of term loans to finance a specific, one-off investment for their small business.

What You Need to Qualify

See if your business meets the minimum working capital requirements.

Pros and Cons of

Dental Practice Loans

Careful planning is needed to maximize the pros while mitigating the cons for long-term business success. 

PROS

Provide upfront capital to invest in required equipment, facilities, and starting an operation. This allows dentists to establish or expand efficiently.

Improved cash flow – A loan injects funds that can be used for operating expenses, upgrading equipment, paying bills on time, etc. This enhances the firm’s cash flow and financial flexibility.

Tax deductible interest – Interest paid on business loans is generally tax deductible, providing tax savings that help offset some of the cost of financing.

CONS

Opportunity cost – Loan dollars that could be used for other priorities or strategic investments like building a rainy day fund. The funds may not deliver the expected return.

Risk of default – If the loan proceeds do not generate adequate returns, the firm risks being unable to repay the loan which can damage credit and relationships with lenders.

Possible over-leverage – Large loans could over-leverage the practice, making it difficult to absorb unexpected costs.

Approximate time for each product

Funds from business loans such as business term loans, lines of credit, working capital loans, equipment financing, merchant cash advance, account receivable factoring and revenue-based business loans should appear in your bank account within 1-3 business days.  For SBA loans and real estate financing, it can take up to 2-5 weeks to receive funds.

Dental office financing can provide significant advantages for dentists looking to expand or establish their practices. One of the primary benefits is access to capital, which can alleviate the financial burden of major investments such as purchasing equipment, renovating facilities, or acquiring an existing practice. Additionally, dental office loans often offer favorable interest rates and flexible repayment terms, making it easier to manage cash flow and maintain a healthy financial position.  Funding also enables associates to achieve ownership to buy a dental practice. With dental office financing options, you can aggressively invest in building a cutting-edge operation from the start.

Installment plans from dental practice loans make large investments more affordable. Payments align with revolving asset lifespans to perpetually update technologies. Overall costs are reduced while leveraging competitive loans.  Interest covers start-up expenditures enhancing care and attracting clientele, granting dentists momentum to build their successful business.

While dental practice loans provide important access to startup funds, it’s important to understand repayment commitments. Payments continue for several years, requiring revenue planning. Falling sales could impact repayment if expenses rise unexpectedly. It’s also wise to thoroughly scrutinize loan terms to avoid unnecessary interest costs long-term.

Securing funds often requires collateral like equipment as security. This ensures lenders support practice success. However, unforeseen difficulties may affect personal assets. For this reason, evaluating loan options from experienced dental loan providers helps choose flexible arrangements friendly to changing needs over time. Overall, practicing prudent financial oversight allows focusing energy on delivering excellent patient care.

Yes, even if you have another loan with a bank or lender, your business may still indeed be eligible.  As long as you have not defaulted, have a good payment history and underwriting determines that your business can afford to payback the loan, you can still qualify for a business loan. 

Importantly, this will depend on what type of dental practice loan you are applying for.  For example, an SBA loan is a lot harder to get approved for rather than an equipment financing loan.  However, here at Upwise we offer a variety of loan options for you to choose from.  In addition to this, each type of business loan for dentists has different qualifications so that you can find the best solution that works for you.

See above, we go over the 6 best business loans for dentists and dental practices:

  • Working Capital for Dental Practices
  • Equipment Financing for Dental Practices
  • Real Estate Financing for Dental Practices
  • Lines of Credit for Dental Practices
  • SBA Loans for Dental Practices
  • Term Loans for Dental Practices
Rates & Terms

This includes: the product you’re applying for, how long you’ve been in business, credit history, use of funds, revenue & other financial factors.  To determine which loans for accountants are the best fit for your business, speak with a dedicated funding advisor to discuss your needs.  Call (646)837-5522 today to compare your options.
