SD SBDC Assists Dental Practice transition between two Navy Veterans
Originally an SBDC startup in 2016, Wermerson Orthodontics had outgrown its space. When the property was on the market, a new client, Dr. Haiar of the Sioux Falls Dental Implant Center, worked with the SBDC to secure financing. Unique to this situation is the fact that both doctors, in addition to being SBDC clients, were also both Navy Veterans! “I had to compile all this info for the loan, and Daniel Cook of the SBDC helped me put together the business plan, and he was awesome,” said Dr. Haiar. “With me being busy at work, he was available at all hours to text or call at any time, and we were able to get everything done on a tight timeline.”
