• Working capital for dental practices: what Elizabeth City, NC owners should know

  A dental practice collects from patients at the chair and from insurers weeks later, while hygienists and assistants are paid every pay cycle. That gap is the case for working capital. Size it from the claims aging report: the dollars outstanding past 30 days show how much cash the insurers are holding. A practice that also finances a new chair should keep the two needs on separate products, so the equipment payment lasts as long as the chair.

• Business loans for a dentist: how a practice purchase works in Elizabeth City, NC

  Buying a dental practice is financed on the practice's own record. Partners read the seller's collections, the patient count, the payer mix, the lease and the equipment list, and the buyer's own production history. The purchase agreement should spell out patient records, staff and any non-compete. A seller who stays on for a transition period can make the request clearer to a partner.

• Working capital for a dental practice near Elizabeth City, NC: hygiene days and insurer lags
