Why specialist healthcare funding matters
Healthcare providers face sector-specific financial pressures: expensive diagnostic and clinical equipment, rigorous compliance and registration costs, variable staffing expenses, and payment lag from NHS contracts or private insurers. General SME finance providers may not understand these nuances — which can slow approvals or lead to unsuitable offers.

Fast Business Loans bridges that gap by matching your business to lenders and brokers with experience in healthcare. That sector knowledge helps deliver faster, more relevant quotes — whether you need asset finance for MRI scanners, invoice finance to smooth NHS payment cycles, or a short-term bridging facility while waiting on a contract.
What types of healthcare businesses we support
Our panel covers a wide range of healthcare sectors. Typical clients include:

- Allied health businesses (physiotherapy, opticians, podiatry)
- Medical suppliers and NHS contractors awaiting payments
We can also support multi-site operations and niche providers seeking tailored solutions.
Funding solutions available for healthcare firms
Through our introducer network you can be connected to providers offering:
- Healthcare business loans (secured & unsecured) — term loans for growth, working capital or refinance.
- Medical equipment & asset finance — spread the cost of expensive diagnostic and clinical equipment via hire purchase or leasing.
- Invoice finance — unlock cash tied up in NHS or insurer invoices to smooth working capital.
- Commercial mortgages & property loans — buy or refinance clinics, surgery premises or care homes.
- Refinance & consolidation — restructure existing debt to improve monthly cashflow.
- Bridging & short-term loans — temporary funding while waiting on contracts or sale completions.
Each product has trade-offs. For example, equipment finance preserves cashflow but may be secured against the asset; invoice finance speeds cash access but involves fees based on invoice values. Our partners will explain options and likely costs once they contact you.

How our matching process works
Here’s how it typically works — simple and fast:
- Complete a 2‑minute enquiry with basic business and funding details (this is not an application).
- Smart matching sends your details to vetted lenders/brokers who specialise in healthcare.
- Selected partners contact you with tailored options and indicative terms.
- Compare offers, ask questions, and decide — there’s no obligation to proceed.
We handle data securely and only share information with partners relevant to your enquiry. The enquiry does not affect your credit file; lenders may perform checks only if you choose to proceed.
Eligibility & information checklist
Minimum criteria
Most lenders expect:
- UK-based business or UK-registered company
- Funding requests of approximately £10,000 and above
- Evidence of trading (varies by product; some lenders support early-stage businesses)
Credit profiles vary by lender — past refusals do not automatically exclude you; specialist partners often have flexible approaches for sector-specific factors.
Documents & information commonly requested
- Recent management accounts or turnover statements
- Bank statements (typically 3–6 months)
- Copies of NHS contracts or insurer agreements (if applicable)
- CQC registration or relevant licences (for regulated care providers)
- Equipment quotes or supplier invoices for asset finance
- Proof of ID and company information (director details, registration)
All information you provide is used only to match you with suitable lenders/brokers in line with our privacy policy.
Costs, rates & responsible borrowing
Costs depend on product, loan size, term, security and your business’s financial health. Factors include:
- Type of finance (invoice finance, secured loan, equipment lease)
- Amount and term
- Security provided and asset value
- Strength of cashflow and credit history
Transparent lenders will provide full APRs, fees and early‑repayment terms before you commit. We encourage you to compare offers carefully and consider independent professional advice if unsure. Fast Business Loans introduces you to providers — decisions and contracts are between you and the lender/broker.
Case snapshots & use cases
1. Care home refurbishment (asset finance)
A 40-bed care home needed new mobility aids and kitchen upgrades. Asset finance spread costs over 5 years, preserving working capital and enabling immediate improvements. The introducer matched the home with a broker experienced in care property equipment.
2. Private clinic bridging loan
A private clinic required bridge funding while waiting for a large insurer payment. A short-term bridging loan provided immediate cashflow; once payment cleared, the loan was repaid. We matched the clinic to lenders offering quick turnaround for medical suppliers.
3. Pharmacy using invoice finance
A community pharmacy used invoice finance to unlock funds tied to NHS supplier invoices. This improved cashflow, allowed bulk purchasing discounts and stabilised supplier relationships. Our partners arranged a blended fee structure to match cashflow patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are healthcare business loans different from standard SME loans?
Yes — healthcare lending often considers CQC compliance, NHS payment cycles, equipment lifecycles and supplier contracts. That’s why matching to sector-savvy lenders improves the chances of a suitable offer.
Can newly registered clinics or start-ups apply?
Some of our partners specialise in early-stage lending and asset finance; eligibility depends on product and supporting information. Submit an enquiry to learn which partners may help.
Will completing the enquiry affect my credit score?
No. Submitting an enquiry via Fast Business Loans does not affect your credit file. Lenders may carry out credit checks only if you decide to proceed with an application.
How quickly could funds be available?
Timescales vary by product. Some asset finance deals complete in days; invoice finance can be arranged quickly; commercial mortgages and larger loans take longer. Your matched broker/lender will provide estimated times based on your circumstances.
Do I have to accept an offer?
No. Matching and quotes are free and without obligation. You decide whether to accept any lender’s terms.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Information you provide in the enquiry is only shared with relevant partners and processed in line with our privacy policy to facilitate matching.
