Optical Small Business Showcase: Brilliant Eyes

Dr. Janelle L. Davison, optometrist and founder of Brilliant Eyes Vision Center in Smyrna, GA, partners with Oakmont Capital Services to finance equipment and working capital to help make her business visions come true.

“Working with OCS has tremendously benefitted my practice. By partnering with them, I was able to furnish a 3rd exam lane, increasing efficiency and office workflows. This, in turn, helped elevate my revenue per patient. Additionally, I have successfully financed all the necessary mobile pretesting equipment through OCS.” – Dr. Davison 

Q) How did you find out about OCS? 

A) I discovered OCS through the vendor Norwood. While I had previously worked with another bank, I found the process with OCS to be seamless.

Q) Why did you decide to finance the initial optical equipment for your practice?  

A) I prefer to maintain a consistent cash flow by utilizing financing options for equipment acquisitions. This approach allows me to acquire the necessary equipment promptly while benefiting from end-of-year tax advantages.

Q) Specific to the working capital – how will these funds be leveraged within the practice?

Mindy Lund, CLFP

A) My OCS contact, Mindy Lund, has consistently provided excellent support and assistance for all my needs. As we establish a new medical optometry-focused location, we must secure the necessary capital for initial investments, ensuring a smooth practice launch. Additionally, having a financial safety net for the first two to three months of operation is highly advisable. 

Q) How has working with a financing partner like OCS helped your business grow? Can you provide any statistics or examples?  

A) Working with OCS has tremendously benefitted my practice. By partnering with them, I was able to furnish a 3rd exam lane, increasing efficiency and office workflows. This, in turn, helped elevate my revenue per patient. Additionally, I have successfully purchased all the necessary mobile pretesting equipment through OCS. It is a well-known challenge for small businesses to deal with staff shortages while maintaining quality. However, with the mobile equipment, I can ensure efficient service even if my tech calls out. Furthermore, this equipment allows me to showcase all the new technologies to my patients. In our partnership with OCS, we have acquired a handheld auto-refractor, QuickSee, along with a fundus camera, Eyer. 

Q) What was the process like working with your OCS contacts?  

A) At OSC, the contacts are consistently punctual, accessible, and highly efficient. It was truly a pleasure collaborating with Mindy and all the agents at Channel Partners. Their unwavering dedication ensured that we secured the necessary funding at a favorable interest rate. OCS has become my trusted funding partner for all my future business needs and projects. 

OCS is thrilled to work with Dr. Davison, and we’re excited that she’s expanding her practice to serve more patients in the Smyrna, Georgia, area and beyond. OCS has been helping small businesses grow for over twenty-five years, offering equipment finance and working capital. Thanks to customers like Brilliant Eyes Vision Center, we continue to “Make It Possible” every day! For more information or to contact one of our finance professionals, visit www.oakmontfinance.com.
