Syscap bridges finance gap for specialist dental centre

Syscap Professions arranged an all-encompassing finance solution to equip The Wessex Dental Specialist Centre without disrupting cashflow.

Grand opening of the specialist dental centre

The Wessex Dental Specialist Centre, which opened in March this year, is one of only a handful of specialist dental practices in the UK. The centre offers treatment and services under five main disciplines: orthodontics, periodontics, surgical dentistry, endodontics and prosthodontics. Developed at a cost of £1.9million, the state-of-the-art practice boasts an extraordinary level of care and service. The centre was the brainchild of the seven specialists and technicians who now make up The Wessex partnership. Their vision for a purpose-built centre offering uncompromising standards of service and treatment to referral dentists and their patients became a reality with the help of finance from Syscap.

Syscap finance is a straightforward business solution

Michael Thomas is a specialist in prosthodontics at The Wessex, and is also in charge of business development, as he explains: "These days, partners in all dental practices have to be part dental specialist, part business professional. The duel role that I have here is an inevitable factor of setting up such an exciting practice, but I don't want the business side to take over. Finance is a straightforward business solution that has enabled us to afford the best possible equipment from the outset, leaving us to concentrate on offering the best possible service to our customers."

Syscap, the UK's leading independent finance provider enabled the acquisition of vital equipment for the practice in every area from IT and specialist systems to furniture and fittings, worth over £500,000. Having already invested heavily in the project, finance was the obvious choice for the partners: "We don't want to compromise when it comes to the quality of our equipment, but we need to ensure we don't disrupt our cashflow," says Michael. "So it makes much more sense to use finance both in the immediate- and long-term."
