Section 10: Secondary Liquidity & Exit Analysis
MT Dental Ventures' PropCo/OpCo structure provides multiple layers of secondary liquidity for lending institutions. The PropCo holds fee-simple title to a purpose-built dental facility on a high-traffic arterial corridor, providing real estate collateral with strong residual value independent of the operating business. In a stress scenario, the facility is readily re-tenantable to alternative healthcare or dental operators given its location, build-out, and proximity to York School District 1. The OpCo's Day-1 patient base of 1,300+ active pediatric patients — transferred from an established Rock Hill practice — represents a tangible, monetizable asset with demonstrated revenue history. The combined collateral package (real estate + equipment + patient goodwill) provides institutional lenders with a well-secured, multi-layer exit profile.
