How fast can I close?

Although no scenario is exactly the same, a typical conventional practice loan can easily close in as little as 15 to 30 days. When real estate is involved in the transaction and an appraisal required, our Fast Trak option allows for a 30 day close.

I want to purchase an existing practice, but don't want to use all of my savings?

No Problem! 1st Med Financial is the "Home of the 100% Practice Acquisition Loan!" Depending on strength of practice and borrower creditworthiness, we can typically provide 100% practice acquisition financing plus working capital to help with the transition period.

I'm not sure if I should buy an existing practice or start-up a new one?

We hear this question often and can assist with both transaction types. An existing practice is less risky for the bank as well as the practitioner due to the established patient base and built-up goodwill already in the practice. That being said, we can offer start-up financing for qualified scenarios through both Conventional & SBA programs.
