Finance options available for healthcare businesses

Healthcare businesses may need a mix of facilities. Below is a quick guide to common finance types and how they are typically used.

Working capital & cashflow loans

Short to medium-term lending that helps cover staff, supplies and operational costs. Useful where NHS or private contract payments lag.

Asset & equipment finance

Structured to match useful life of medical equipment. Often preserves cash and can include installation and maintenance packages.

Property & fit-out finance

Finance for buying premises or carrying out CQC-compliant upgrades and refurbishments.

Invoice finance for NHS & private contracts

Unlock value from unpaid invoices to boost liquidity without taking on further long-term debt.
