Fort Collins dental sponsors must explain a project of this size, whether a practice purchase with real estate, a new building or a major build-out, and show the operatories, providers and patient base within reach. Production per chair should be tested against a loan near $1.4 million, with a slower ramp shown. FY2017 shows 5 loans worth $5.2 million and FY2019 shows 0, so volume moves unevenly. Keep the practice and its premises as separate value cases.
