Medical, Dental & Med Spa Equipment Loans in California: What Practices Should Know

Healthcare equipment is expensive and it gets outdated fast. A new imaging unit, dental chair, or aesthetic laser can cost more than a year of profit for a small practice. Financing lets the equipment start earning before it's fully paid for.
Common practice purchases we see
- Digital X-ray, CBCT, and ultrasound units
- Dental chairs, operatory packages, and intraoral scanners
- Lasers and aesthetic devices for med spas
- Physical therapy and chiropractic equipment
- Office build-outs and tenant improvements
Loan or lease?
Equipment financing is available as a loan (you own it) or a lease (often lower payments, with an option to upgrade). Programs we place go up to $1M total with terms up to 84 months. Leasing can make sense for technology you expect to replace in a few years.
Insurance reimbursements and cash flow
Many practices are profitable on paper but wait 30 to 90 days for insurance payments. A business line of credit can cover payroll and supplies while claims are processed, so you don't have to pay for equipment out of that same cash.
Buying or expanding a practice
For buying a practice, buying your building, or a major expansion, SBA loans are often the better fit because of longer terms. See how SBA underwriting works.
What to have ready
- An equipment quote or invoice from the vendor
- Recent business bank statements
- Business tax returns for larger requests
- Professional license information
