- Document management experience and retention plans for key staff.
- Show supplier/contract stability and, where relevant, NHS framework agreements or private insurer relationships.
Fast Business Loans does not provide financial or legal advice. Consider independent advice where appropriate.

Healthcare Business Finance FAQs
Is Fast Business Loans a direct lender for healthcare businesses?
No — we introduce you to lenders and brokers who can provide finance. We are not a lender and do not provide regulated financial advice.
How quickly can healthcare providers access funding after applying?
Matching is typically same-day. Funding timeframes vary by product — some asset finance deals complete in days, commercial mortgages can take several weeks.
Are start-up clinics or new care homes eligible?
Yes. Many partners consider early-stage healthcare ventures, though they may require stronger security or experienced management assurances.
