#91 Chris Meehan - The Guide to Financing
In this episode I'm joined by Chris Meehan who is a Vice President for The Bancorp. The Bancorp is a business financing services company specializing in working with dental, veterinary and other medical professions. Chris has worked in the healthcare financing space for over ten years and brings a lot of personal experience and perspective to what you all need as a veterinarian when it comes to financing and preparing to look at lending options. We discuss how banks look at veterinarians, how to best prepare to be a good borrower, and more feedback on practice ownership.
