Starting your own private medical practice is more than just a professional leap—it’s a dream that combines your passion for healthcare with a desire to serve your community on your own terms. But bringing that vision to life requires strategic planning, especially when it comes to funding.
Whether you’re a physician, dentist, therapist, or other healthcare professional, navigating the world of healthcare financing can be confusing. This guide will walk you through choosing the right healthcare loan to launch your private practice and offer expert advice to help you avoid common financial pitfalls.
Starting a private healthcare practice offers a variety of benefits:
However, launching your own practice means you need to cover all startup and operational costs yourself—and that’s where the right healthcare lending options come into play.
Before choosing a loan, it’s important to understand what you’ll need to finance. Here’s a breakdown of typical startup costs:
Expense Category | Estimated Cost |
Clinic Lease or Purchase | $2,000 – $8,000/month |
Medical Equipment | $50,000 – $200,000+ |
Licensing & Legal Fees | $5,000 – $15,000 |
Insurance | $3,000 – $10,000 annually |
Staff Salaries | $10,000 – $50,000/month |
IT Systems & EHR | $300 – $1,200/month |
Marketing & Branding | $3,000 – $10,000 |
Your first step is developing a financial strategy:
Make use of resources like our Loan Duration Calculator to estimate repayment plans and monthly commitments.
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution in healthcare lending. Here are the main types to consider:
Loan Type | Use Case | Repayment Term |
Term Loan | Equipment, renovations, staffing | 1–10 years |
SBA Loan | Larger expenses like real estate | Up to 25 years |
Line of Credit | Flexible working capital | Revolving credit |
Healthcare Equipment Financing | Medical devices, tools, systems | 2–7 years |
Quick Loans | Emergency or short-term needs | A few months – 2 years |
