Reviews from Businesses like Yours
There are around 11,500 dental practices in England alone, according to NHS Digital — with thousands more operating independently across Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Dental practices carry high equipment costs, CQC compliance obligations, and the cash flow pressure of NHS payment delays. The time lag between delivering private treatment and receiving settlement creates a further working capital challenge. A business funding advance gives dental practices fast access to working capital, without a personal guarantee.
Dental Practice Business Funding Advance
Got Capital provides unsecured business funding advances from £2,000 to £300,000 for dental practices, dental surgeries, orthodontic clinics, and dental laboratory businesses across the UK. A funding decision is made in as little as one hour, and the advance can be in your account within 24 hours — without requiring a personal guarantee.
Why Dental Businesses Need Flexible Funding
Dental practices face a combination of capital pressures that few other healthcare businesses share. Clinical equipment — dental chairs, digital X-ray units, intraoral scanners, and sterilisation systems — represents a significant capital investment. This equipment has a finite working life and must be maintained or replaced to meet CQC standards and deliver the quality of care patients expect. A single treatment unit failure during a busy week is not just a maintenance cost — it is lost appointment revenue that cannot be recovered.
For NHS dental practices, payment structure creates a persistent cash flow challenge. NHS capitation and item-of-service payments arrive on a fixed schedule that does not always align with the costs of running the practice week to week. Staff costs, consumables, laboratory fees, and compliance obligations fall continuously, while NHS income arrives in arrears. Expanding NHS provision — taking on additional UDAs or a new patient list — requires upfront investment before the associated income flows.
For private dental practices, growth investment arrives before revenue. Adding a specialist service — implants, orthodontics, Invisalign, or facial aesthetics — requires equipment purchases, staff training, and sometimes premises reconfiguration before the first treatment is delivered and the first private fee collected.

Yes — Got Capital provides business funding advances suited to dental practices, dental surgeries, orthodontic clinics, and dental laboratory businesses. To qualify, your business needs to be UK-registered, have been trading for at least 3 months, and generate a minimum of £5,000 in monthly revenue. Decisions are based on your business health rather than your personal credit score, and no personal guarantee is required. Advances range from £2,000 to £300,000, with funds reaching your account within 24 hours.
Got Capital can issue a funding decision in as little as one hour. Once approved, funds are typically deposited into your business account within 24 hours. This is particularly valuable when a dental chair or imaging unit requires urgent repair or replacement. It is equally useful when a CQC compliance deadline creates an immediate cost, or when adding implants or orthodontics has a specific start date. The entire application is completed online with no business plan or personal guarantee required.
Yes — both are among the most common uses of a Got Capital advance for dental practices. Clinical equipment — dental chairs, digital X-ray units, intraoral scanners, and sterilisation systems — requires ongoing investment to maintain CQC compliance and deliver quality care. An advance gives you the working capital to replace or upgrade equipment without waiting for cash reserves to accumulate across multiple months of trading income. Adding a specialist service such as implants, Invisalign, or facial aesthetics requires equipment, training, and sometimes premises changes before the first treatment is delivered and the first fee collected. There are no restrictions on how the funds are deployed within your practice.
A traditional bank loan is a credit agreement where interest accrues over the loan term and fixed monthly instalments are due on a set schedule. Got Capital’s advance works differently: a single, fixed factor fee is agreed upfront, so you know the full cost before you commit. There is no compounding interest and no variable rate. You settle the advance as a proportion of your future revenue. No personal guarantee is required to secure the funding advance.
No. Got Capital does not require a personal guarantee from any business that takes an advance. A personal guarantee would make you personally liable if the practice could not settle — potentially putting your home and personal savings at risk. Got Capital’s advances are unsecured: your personal financial position is not used as security, and no personal assets are put at risk in order to secure the funding advance.
Yes — a Got Capital advance is specifically designed to work with businesses that have uneven revenue. Dental practices can experience income variability tied to NHS payment cycles, seasonal patient demand, and the time lag between delivering private treatment and receiving payment. You settle the advance as a proportion of your future income. This makes a Got Capital advance well suited to practices whose revenue fluctuates across the year.
Yes. Many of the dental practices funded by Got Capital have previously been declined by a high street bank. Banks assess applications primarily on credit scores, security, and rigid eligibility criteria that often disadvantage healthcare businesses with high equipment costs and variable income. Got Capital assesses the health of your practice — your revenue, trading history, and operations. If your dental practice generates at least £5,000 per month, has been trading for at least 3 months, and is UK-registered, your application will be reviewed on its own merits. Previous bank declines are not a barrier.
