Every year, hundreds of dentists choose to purchase dental practices. Understandably, in the days, weeks, or months leading up to the purchase, they may ask questions about whether they are ready to have their own practice.

Something that dentists may need to consider when looking at dental practices for sale in California is whether or not it is beneficial to start a new practice from scratch with no patients or if it is better to purchase one that already has patients. The answer to that question may vary, depending on how the dentist is considering financing the practice that they want to purchase.

If a dentist chooses to take out a loan, the bank may require that the business they are purchasing already produce a set amount of money before they will give the loan. Starting from nothing means it could take a dentist several years to build up their business to the point where they reach the financial threshold required by the bank. Conversely, when they purchase an existing dental business, they may be purchasing one that is already making money, which would make them more attractive to banks.

If a dentist purchases a dental practices for sale in California that is fully staffed, they are going to spend a lot less effort in hiring staff and establishing the business than they would if they were looking to try to build something up from scratch.
