Who this is generally built for
Practices that are open and treating patients, but carry something a traditional bank checklist would flag on sight — credit history, or a thinner file.
- Personal credit score: approvals exist as low as the 500s; some partners consider files case by case below that
- Time in business: generally at least 6 months of real operating history
- Past credit events: a prior default, judgment, or bankruptcy doesn't automatically rule a practice out — timing and documentation matter
- Specialty: some specialties face more caution than others; fit is checked before anything is quoted
These are general patterns across the funding partners MedicalBizFunding works with, not a promise for any single file. Some situations still can't be placed, and you'll be told plainly if that's the case.
What to expect
Terms here typically cost more than an established-practice offer — that trade-off is what makes funding possible where a bank says no.
Amount, term length, and pricing are set file by file. Ask for the full repayment total in writing before you accept any offer, and ask what would need to change to qualify for better terms next time.
How to move forward
One honest application is the only way to see your real options — guessing from a checklist online won't tell you what a real underwriter will say.
MedicalBizFunding reviews your file and tells you plainly what's available, what it costs, and what would help next time. No pressure to accept anything you see.
What you’ll typically need

Frequently asked questions
Is this a direct loan from MedicalBizFunding?
MedicalBizFunding helps practices get funded through its funding partners. This tier is placed through partners built to review credit and history case by case, not funded directly by MedicalBizFunding.
I was declined elsewhere — is it worth applying again?
Often, yes. Different funding partners weigh credit, specialty, and cash flow differently, so a decline in one place doesn't mean a decline everywhere.
Does my specialty matter?
Yes — some specialties face more caution from funding partners than others. MedicalBizFunding checks this before showing you any offer, so you're not quoted something that won't hold up.
Will this cost more than a typical business loan?
Usually. Funding that looks past credit history or a thinner file typically costs more than a bank loan or an established-practice line. You'll see the full cost before deciding.
What if I have an open bankruptcy?
Most funding partners require a bankruptcy to be discharged or dismissed, with documentation, before they'll consider a file. Ask specifically about your situation when you apply.
