The Dental Wealth Nation Show is for practice owners building toward—or navigating through—the most consequential financial event of their career: the exit.
Host Tim McNeely operates a Virtual Family Office serving dental entrepreneurs with $5M–$25M in net worth. He holds the rare combination of CFP®, CIMA®, CEPA®, and CPFA® designations—a credential stack bridging comprehensive wealth management with specialized exit planning. His clients don't need another advisor. They need a financial quarterback coordinating the advisors they already have.
Each episode unpacks the coordination failures that cost practice owners millions: mistimed exits, fragmented tax strategies, wealth structures that don't survive the transition from practice income to portfolio income. You'll hear direct conversations with elite tax counsel, M&A specialists, and practice owners who've already made the crossing.

Welcome to The Dental Wealth Nation Show with Tim McNeely! In this episode, Tim is joined by Jason Schneller, the regional director of project loans at Provide, to unpack the intricacies of dental practice startup lending.
This insightful discussion delves into the essential steps and resources required for dentists looking to acquire a practice. Jason emphasizes the need for meticulous research, understanding the available options, and the importance of seeking guidance from mentors and professionals, such as lenders, realtors, and consultants.
Delving into the lending process, Jason elucidates how Provide uses a prequalification process involving soft credit inquiries and essential questions to gather information about a doctor's credit score, personal debts, liquidity, licensing, and production.
The episode spotlights the efficiency of Provide's streamlined online lending process, which delivers a loan approval typically within 7 business days for a startup. Jason further discusses how the lender collaborates closely with realtors to define a budget and find an appropriate space for the dental office, emphasizing the significance of speed in securing loan approvals to enable the timely commencement of practice operations.
Throughout the conversation, Jason addresses common roadblocks faced by dentists seeking ownership, dispelling misconceptions regarding loan requirements and collateral. He highlights the specialized lending options available in the dental industry, underscoring how specialized lenders cater specifically to healthcare professionals and can lend 100% of the construction and equipment costs without requiring personal collateral beyond the practice itself.
The episode also explores the changing landscape of starting a dental practice over the years and the importance of building a knowledgeable team to guide dentists in realizing their practice vision and brand, even before they have a space.
Listeners are encouraged to consider the statistical success of dental practices and the benefits of ownership, along with the importance of seeking specialized advice to maximize net worth and make a meaningful impact.
Join Tim McNeely and Jason Schneller in this engaging episode as they provide valuable insights into the dental practice startup lending process, ownership benefits, and the significance of teamwork within the dental industry.
