MDM Orthodontics
Industry: Medical

MDM Orthodontics offers patients the best quality orthodontic treatment at an affordable price. “In the beginning when I started my business, it wasn’t especially when it came to finance because I had to finance my business from scratch, out of my own pocket as it is not easy for entrepreneurs to get funding from banks. Business Partners has impacted my business in a positive way in a sense that my mentor helps me to grow and brought in new ideas where I was lacking and they also helped me to buy the business premises that I’m using, of which now I have ownership of.”
