FINANCING THAT FITS THE OPERATION

Plan the equipment and the capacity to use it.

A new treatment room or imaging system can require equipment, installation, staff training and an adjustment period. The purchase price alone does not show when the investment will begin supporting cash flow.

Separate the asset from consumables and implementation costs. Review the proposed payment against existing revenue, expected utilization and collection timing. Any clinical, licensing and technical requirements need to be confirmed independently with the appropriate professionals.

START WITH THE BUSINESS NEED

What needs to move forward?

Identify the constraint first. The right discussion starts with what you need to buy, when cash leaves the business and how it returns.

01 / PRACTICE EQUIPMENT

Assess the full installed cost.

A device may depend on several systems around it.

  • Itemize hardware, delivery, installation and training.
  • Review servicing, software support and replacement cycles.
  • Allow for any room preparation and time out of service.

02 / OPERATING CASH

Plan around collection timing.

Revenue recorded and cash collected may arrive at different times.

  • Map payroll, rent and recurring supply purchases.
  • Separate patient, insurer and commercial receivables.
  • Allow for delays and disputed or uncollected balances.

03 / PRACTICE GROWTH

Build a realistic expansion budget.

More space does not immediately mean full utilization.

  • Prepare a room-by-room equipment schedule.
  • Model staff hiring and a gradual appointment ramp-up.
  • Assess new payments alongside existing practice debt.

ILLUSTRATIVE PLANNING EXAMPLE

A new room may take time to reach capacity.

A clinic equips an additional room and trains staff before the new appointment schedule is fully occupied. Equipment payments and operating costs may begin while revenue is still building.

Estimate a gradual utilization increase and the timing of collections. Include service contracts, consumables and staffing in the cost forecast instead of evaluating the device on purchase price alone.

This is a hypothetical scenario, not a Mehmi client result or financing offer.

A CLEARER APPLICATION

What will your financing review consider?

The financing review may consider practice history, revenue, cash flow, owner experience and current commitments. Equipment condition, supplier documentation and useful life can also be relevant. Prepare aggregate financial records; patient-identifying information is not needed to begin a financing discussion.

  • Explain the amount, purpose and intended timing.
  • Show how payments fit your current and forecast cash flow.
  • Disclose existing financing, liens and guarantees.
  • Identify your province or state, currency and asset location.

A newer business may need additional evidence of experience, owner investment or contracted demand. No single factor guarantees an approval.

PRACTICAL ANSWERS

Medical, Dental & Wellness financing FAQs.

Can used medical or dental equipment be considered?

A used-equipment request can be reviewed. Provide age, condition, service history, supplier details and the equipment quote. Technical suitability, licensing and applicable operating requirements remain separate matters for the business and its advisers.

Can software and training be included with equipment?

Ask for each cost to be reviewed as part of the package. Bundled software, subscriptions, installation and training may receive different treatment. Provide an itemized quote and confirm coverage in the written proposal.

Is this financing for patients?

This page concerns financing for businesses acquiring equipment or managing practice costs. It does not describe consumer credit or patient treatment payment plans. Use the application to explain the business requirement and location.

Can I apply for more than one business need?

Yes. Describe equipment purchases and operating costs separately, even if they form part of the same project. Each may require different documentation, security and repayment arrangements. Review the combined cash commitment before agreeing to multiple facilities.

Can I keep my existing business financing?

Possibly, but the agreements must work together. Existing security interests, borrowing restrictions and required consents may affect a new arrangement. Share current balances and agreements early, and do not assume the same asset can support another facility without review.

What affects the amount and time required?

The amount and timing depend on the business, product, documentation, verification and completion of approval conditions. Identify any purchase or project deadlines early. An application or financing discussion is not a commitment to fund.
