What it is

Medical Practice Loans, explained in plain English

Medical practice loans are SBA and conventional programs designed around physician and clinic cash flow. Lenders that specialize in healthcare understand insurance reimbursement cycles, allowed-amounts vs. billed-amounts, and the long ramp on de novo clinics, so they underwrite differently than a generalist business lender.

For Dallas-area physicians and groups, the most common uses are practice acquisition, partner buy-in/buy-out, opening additional locations, financing imaging or equipment, and acquiring owner-occupied real estate.

Compass Lenders is not a lender. We're a Dallas-based advisory firm that places your file with the lender most likely to fund it on the best terms, and we get paid only when your deal closes.

FAQ

Medical Practice Loans questions, answered

Can a W-2 physician get a practice loan?
Yes. Physician-specialist SBA lenders regularly fund first-time buyers transitioning from employment to ownership, including 100% financing for acquisitions.
How is medical practice loan underwriting different?
Specialist lenders model collections net of payer mix, write-offs, and reimbursement timing. A generalist bank often won't credit you for the practice's real cash generation.
Do I need real estate to qualify?
No. Most medical practice loans are working-capital, equipment, or acquisition based. Real estate is optional and often financed separately under SBA 504.
How quickly can a medical practice loan fund?
Equipment-only files in 1-2 weeks. SBA acquisitions in 45-60 days from complete file.
Can I refinance prior practice debt?
Yes. Consolidating equipment, acquisition, and working-capital balances into a single SBA note is a common use case. Final rates and terms depend on the lender and the borrower's profile.
