I was working with a different bank previously, and I felt kind of just like another number. I didn’t feel like they could help me achieve my goals. It was the right time to make a change.

Most practice finance loans are a conventional financing option, whereas SBA (Small Business Administration) loans1are partially guaranteed by the government, and therefore have different terms and conditions.

SBA loans can be a great solution when traditional financing options have been exhausted, or when used in tandem with conventional loan options to accomplish financing needs.

Healthcare practice financing refers to specialized loans designed for medical & general physicians, dental and veterinary professionals to start, grow or optimize their practices. Unlike generic business loans, these products account for unique challenges like high startup costs, delayed insurance reimbursements, and the need for advanced equipment.

Finance options include:

  • Conventional practice loans
  • SBA loans
  • Equipment financing
  • Working capital business lines of credit

Typically, licensed healthcare professionals such as physicians, dentists and veterinarians qualify. We work with practices in all stages of development:

  • Established practices looking to expand or refinance
  • Startups and early-career professionals (some programs allow financing even if you don’t currently own a practice)

Not always. We offer solutions for:

  • Startups (covering buildouts, equipment and initial working capital)
  • Practice acquisitions or buy-ins
  • Early-career professionals with strong credentials (MD, DDS, DVM)

You can use your funds in almost any way to support or grow your business. Some common uses include:

  • Buying or expanding a practice
  • Purchasing or refinancing your office space
  • Funding construction or renovations
  • Acquiring diagnostic tools and technology (MRI, EHR systems)
  • Covering payroll, inventory and insurance reimbursement
  • Marketing and attracting new patients
  • Debt consolidation for better cash flow

Often, yes. Financing your practice expansion or equipment purchases can often align with tax deductions under current laws – potentially lowering your overall costs. Talk with your tax advisor to see how these benefits could apply to you.2
