McGill, an MBA, CPA and JD whose clientele includes many dental practice owners, advises asking yourself detailed questions the next time you want to upgrade your equipment or office, including:
• What is the age and condition of your equipment?
• Does your office present the image you would like to your patients?

Stella had a vision in 2003 of making visiting the dentist a more enjoyable experience for children. After taking out dental practice financing, he was able to accomplish a very unique office renovation, in what has now become "Dr. Stella's Funtastic Dental & Orthodontics."

The Greater New York Dental Meeting took place this week at the Javits Center here in NYC, and since Dental Practice Loans are becoming an increasingly large part of the On Deck business, we headed over to say hello to some friends and partners. The "meeting" (if that's what you call something that big!) was well attended, and most of the vendors and doctors we spoke with were happy with the show.
We spent a lot of time talking to different vendors, asking questions and learning about their inventory loans and business financing options. We spoke with one dentist who told us about his recent need for one of our dental practice loans after his panoramic x ray machine went down, and he immediately had to look into his options for fast business loans before he lost too much business.
That type of emergency situation is exactly why it is so important for business owners to understand their business credit report and subsequently their business financing options. Too many practice owners don't know where they stand until they have an immediate need. It always pays to plan ahead to to know your options - which is why we launched the free On Deck service - give it a shot and see your options today!

The On Deck Capital team has been all over the country this month discussing the state of small business lending. The shows have ranged from a regional Chamber of Commerce Small Business Expo to a National Small Business Banking conference, as well as a Restaurant Financing event. Small business lending is at the front of everyone's mind, and On Deck Capital is working hard to provide business financing options for America's small businesses.
The Chamber of Commerce event allowed On Deck to meet with Main Street business owners, discussing everything from dental practice financing to hair salon loans. These regional events don't represent any particular industry, but instead have true small business owners from every industry, looking to network and grow their business.
There was a lot of conversation at the small business banking event about bad credit business loans. Credit score is a large part of the approval process when applying for bank or SBA small business loans, and there are millions of businesses that do not have the credit necessary to get approved. This is where On Deck works to provide business financing options based on the cash flow and health of the business as opposed putting a large emphasis on credit score.
The restaurant financing event was a great opportunity to learn more about the needs of restaurant owners, and help them understand their business financing options. A good portion of the restaurant owners talked about how important new equipment can be, and business equipment financing can be difficult to find. Helping owners to understand their financing options, including information about how important a business credit report can be to obtaining the financing they need was a major point of conversation.
These events allow members of the On Deck team to get out to Main Street and have real conversations with Small Business owners all over the country. Our goal is to provide fair financing to healthy Main Street businesses, and these shows are a great way of spreading the word!

In case you missed our #FundedFriday Twitter stream last week, here is a list of some of the unsecured small business loans On Deck Capital funded:
- $20,000 of working capital financing to a commercial printer in Georgia
- $35,000 unsecured small business loan to a furniture store in New York

Small business loans are a necessary part of growing your practice. Here are a few reasons that you may need a dental practice loan.
1. Inventory
Identify when your most popular time of year is. In most cases it is in the months before school starts, and coincidentally around the beginning of the year, or 6 months later. These are times that inventory needs to be fully stocked, and in order to do that it is important to explore your business financing options.
2. Equipment Financing
Technology is constantly impacting the dental industry, and is forcing practices to upgrade or buy new equipment. Equipment can be very expensive, and to stay competitive it makes sense to use a small business loan to buy or upgrade your current equipment.
3. Expansion
If you are fortunate enough to need more room in your current building or are looking for another location, it is smart to look for small business loans online. Find out what the best options are for your dental practice financing needs using On Deck's free tool to determine your lending options.
We take pride in lending to Main Street businesses, so here is a recap of some small business loans that were funded last week:
