Why this exists

Why the usual lenders say no.

Your revenue is real. The problem is the form. Here is why traditional underwriting turns away healthy operators in this space, and what we do differently.

01

High debt-to-income

Banks often decline applicants when personal debt levels exceed 45 percent of monthly gross income.

We match you with non-bank lenders who weigh practice cash flow more heavily than personal leverage.
02

Short time in practice

Traditional lenders usually require at least three years of stable tax returns to approve major acquisition funding.

Many partner lenders specialize in supporting associate buyouts with shorter historical proof.
03

Low liquid reserves

Lenders fear a lack of working capital will prevent the practice from surviving an initial transition period.

We offer access to working capital add-ons to ensure your practice remains liquid while you grow.

Questions we get asked

Frequently asked.

Rates vary based on prime plus a margin, typically ranging from 7.5% to 11% depending on your credit score and the loan type. SBA loans often provide the most competitive rates, whereas equipment-only financing may carry slightly higher premiums due to the speed of funding.
