FOR STARTUPS

De Novo Consulting

We guide you through every dental-specific decision from loan close to grand opening.

The Challenge

Starting a practice means 200+ decisions before you see your first patient. Insurance networks, equipment, staffing, vendors, workflow, buildout, marketing. The list goes on.

Without guidance, mistakes in any of these areas can cost tens of thousands. And most of these decisions are dental-specific, meaning general business advice won't cut it. You need consultants who have built practices themselves.

Common Startup Mistakes We Prevent:

  • • Joining the wrong insurance networks and crippling first-year revenue
  • • Overpaying vendors who charge startups a premium
  • • Hiring too early (or too late) and burning through cash
  • • Designing a layout that creates bottlenecks on day one
  • • Launching without a patient acquisition plan
