Finance for Healthcare Professionals

Finance needs differ by provider, ownership, trading history and the way the practice earns and receives money. These are business finance discussions, not personal or consumer borrowing.

GP Practices

General practice and family medicine

Specialists

Cardiology, dermatology, orthopedics

Care Homes

Residential and nursing care facilities

Allied Health

Physiotherapy, optometry, pharmacy

Plan the practice requirement first

A clear use of funds and realistic repayment plan are more useful than a headline loan amount.

Equipment and fit-out

Separate identifiable equipment from premises works and installation. Compare any deposit, useful life, ownership, maintenance, supplier quote and the payment schedule.

  • Equipment and supplier quotations
  • Fit-out scope and lease position
  • Consider other funding routes

Staffing and working cash

Recruitment, payroll and operating costs may arise before receipts arrive. Map timing and affordability against actual cash balances and commitments, rather than assuming forecast income is already available.

  • Review cash receipts and payment cycles
  • Separate regular operating cash from project spend
  • Ask about lender costs and any quote-specific fees

Acquisitions and permissions

Practice purchases can involve goodwill, assets, premises, transition costs and working capital. The right structure depends on the buyer, legal entity, transaction and evidence; check required regulatory permissions with the relevant bodies and professional advisers.

  • Ownership and legal structure matter
  • Private and NHS receipts need evidence
  • Permissions may apply to the provider or transaction

What to prepare

A first conversation can establish whether further assessment is worthwhile. These details help make it specific:

  • • The amount, purpose and date needed, split between equipment, fit-out, deposit and working cash
  • • Legal entity, ownership, trading history and latest filed or management accounts
  • • Recent business bank statements, existing borrowing and regular commitments
  • • Supplier quotes, lease or premises details, and acquisition information if relevant
  • • Evidence of receipts, including contract terms and timing for private or NHS income

Understand the risks

Providers assess affordability, trading evidence and their own eligibility criteria. Security over business or personal assets and personal guarantees may be requested; an unsecured facility may still involve a guarantee. Borrowing adds interest and potentially lender or transaction fees. LoanLogic is a broker, not a lender. LoanLogic charges no upfront fee and no direct broker fee to clients, and receives commission from lenders. The relevant commission information is disclosed during the customer journey; compare the full repayment, fees and obligations before accepting an offer.

There is no guarantee of finance, approval, rates or timing. Regulatory permissions and clinical or legal matters should be checked with the appropriate professional or authority.

Assess a healthcare practice funding need

Start with the requirement, the practice's evidence and a candid discussion of whether a finance route may fit.
