AR-Backed Working Capital: Control Stays With You
Our non-notification model means your practice keeps full control of billing and collections. We never take possession of receivables or contact patients. Lending is against the aggregate total AR, not individual claims, and is based on receivables rather than personal credit scores.
✅ Repayment matches how your practice gets paid.
✅ No compounding interest or open-ended discount rates.
✅ Scalable from solo practices to multi-location groups.
✅ Pair financing with Lean Six Sigma consulting to shorten billing cycles and reduce long-term financing needs.
Equipment Leasing Preserves Optionality
Medical equipment financing can fund imaging, diagnostics, or dental technology. Leasing pays for usage rather than ownership, reducing depreciation and ownership risk. Operating leases appear as expenses on the P&L, not liabilities on the balance sheet, preserving debt capacity. Lessees may deduct the full lease payment as a business expense in the year of payment (check with your tax advisor to see if you qualify). Purchase options can support future upgrades.
