SBA Medical Practice Loans

SBA Loans for Medical Practice

SBA 7a loans are an excellent loan for physicians who need financing for any of the following:

  • medical practice purchase
  • medical building purchase
  • medical practice refinance
  • medical practice expansion
  • partner buyout of a medical practice
  • medical equipment financing

Advantages of the SBA 7a loan for Physicians:

  1. Banks and lenders favor doctors since they are better credit risks than many other businesses and are typically unaffected by downturns in the economy.
  2. SBA Medical Practice loans are available with as little as 10% down, although 15% down may be a better solution since SBA requires collateral in the form of personal assets (typically anything with “land under it”) if you are only putting 10% equity into the practice.  (Keep in mind the current physician/owner of the practice can take back some seller financing to keep the loan to value below 90%). 
  3. Because of the SBA guaranty and a healthy secondary market, SBA 7a loans are one of the few types of commercial loans most banks and lenders feel comfortable doing at the moment.
