Healthcare finance FAQs
Can Fast Business Loans help if we rely on NHS contracts?
Yes. Our partners include brokers and lenders familiar with NHS contracts and the payment cycles relevant to practices and care providers. Include contract details in your enquiry so we can match you appropriately.
What loan sizes are typical for clinics or care homes?
We facilitate funding from around £10,000 up to multi‑million facilities depending on the lender. Exact ranges depend on purpose, security offered and business performance.
Will submitting an enquiry affect our credit score?
No. Completing the Fast Business Loans enquiry form is an introductory step and will not impact your credit file. Lenders may perform credit checks only if you choose to proceed with an offer.
How quickly can I expect contact?
Many partners contact enquires within hours during business hours. Timings vary by lender; more complex transactions (property or acquisitions) naturally take longer.
Do you charge healthcare businesses to use the service?
Our matching service is free for businesses. Any fees for arranging or underwriting finance are explained by the lender or broker at quote stage.
If you don’t see your question answered, request a call-back and a specialist will contact you.
