            Consultant Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, University Dental Practice

            I have been qualified about 25 years and have always bought things outright, against the advice of my accountant!
            However, for a recent renovation/major refurbishment at one of my practices I heeded my accountant's advice and looked at finance options. Many of my colleagues had used Braemar Finance in the past and were delighted. So I approached them and was very impressed - they were efficient, quick and offered a fabulous tailor-made finance option for my refurb. They also did this seamlessly. I would recommend using Braemar Finance for all your financing needs.

            Braemar Finance understand dentistry and the need for a speedy decision, I was shocked by how easy and stress free the process was.
            I will use Braemar in the future should I need finance to grow my practice further and would recommend Braemar Finance to any colleague who would rather spend time on growing their business than waiting on their bank.

            I was introduced to Colin Cornish of Braemar Finance for dental financing some years ago. I had only dealt with banks before, and after some difficult dealings with them over the past 10 years I have found Colin and Braemar a delight to do business with.
            Unlike dealing with a bank, financing with Braemar is effortless. With banks the hidden cost is in the lost time it takes to arrange the finance with the huge amount of paperwork and security required. There is no comparison, go with Braemar Finance and cut lost time and hassle.

            We have dealt with Braemar over our last expansion programme.
            Gail and Braemar are always helpful and supportive, keeping us up to date as we went through the process and have never let us down. Gail was always able to visit at short notice and spend time going over the documents. For our next expansion we know where we will be going!
