A general dentist in Bedford wanted to acquire a retiring periodontist's patient list and move into a larger suite near Route 101. Purchase price: $680,000 for goodwill, charts, and existing equipment. The dentist had $120,000 in savings and strong personal credit but limited business history under her own tax ID. We structured an SBA 7(a) loan at 90 percent loan-to-value, layered a small equipment line for a new sterilization system, and timed closing so she could onboard the associate hygienist before the seller's non-compete started. Monthly debt service fit inside her projected hygiene and restorative revenue, and the seller agreed to a 90-day consulting handoff. The deal closed in 74 days.
