Case Snapshots: How Healthcare Providers Use Our Introductions
Private Physiotherapy Clinic
A single-site clinic used asset finance to acquire treatment tables and imaging equipment, then took a short-term working capital loan to fund marketing for a second site. The client received multiple quotes and chose the most cost-effective package. (Anonymised example.)
Care Home Upgrade
A care home owner upgraded rooms and fire-safety measures using a secured facility arranged through a specialist broker introduced by Fast Business Loans. The chosen lender understood regulatory timelines and supported staged drawdowns. (Anonymised example.)
Dental Practice Equipment Purchase
A dental practice replaced imaging kit via an equipment lease. The lender offered tax-efficient terms and a manageable repayment profile that preserved the practice’s cashflow. (Anonymised example.)
Past performance does not guarantee future outcomes. Funding is subject to status and lender assessment.
