Types of business loans for pharmacies.

Revenue-based financing

When you have ongoing revenue through your pharmacy business, you may qualify for revenue-based financing, such as a cash advance. You receive a lump sum up front, then repay the balance, plus a fee, which is automatically deducted as a percentage of your sales.

TERM LENGTH

1-15 months
MAX LOAN AMOUNT

$1 million

Debt financing

Debt financing is a reliable way to borrow money for your business. They generally come with fixed rates and a set repayment period, so you can plan ahead in your business forecasting. Online term loans come with fast approvals and funding time, whereas SBA loans have competitive rates, but often take a while to finalize.

TERM LENGTH

6 months-25 years
MAX LOAN AMOUNT

Line of credit

Only borrow what you need with a line of credit (LOC). Whether it’s covering an inventory purchase, an emergency expense, or a growth opportunity, you can draw on your LOC, only paying interest on your outstanding balance.

MAX LOAN AMOUNT

Up to $250,000

Equipment financing

Equipment financing helps you pay for large equipment purchases. Whether you need refrigerators, freezers, racks, or PPE, an equipment loan can make it possible.

FAQs

Pharmacy financing is when a business borrows money to fund things like general operating expenses, a specific purchase, or a growth opportunity. Funding offers can be structured in many different ways, including term loans, lines of credit, cash advances, or equipment financing.

  

Apply through Lendio to access multiple financing options for your pharmacy business. Minimum requirements include:

  • At least 6 months in business
  • Monthly income of $8,000 or more
  • Personal credit score of 600 or more

 

It depends on the type of financing you get. Term loans, cash advances, and lines of credit typically can be used for anything related to your business. Equipment financing is limited to the specific asset you purchase with the funds. 

Through an online marketplace, save time and effort with a single application that connects you to a large selection of lenders and loan products. A funding manager will work with you to complete the application process and advocate for you throughout the funding process.

SBA loans are backed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. You apply through private lenders, but those lenders are able to offer broader approval guidelines and better interest rates, because part of the loan is guaranteed by the federal government. The application process can be cumbersome and time-intensive, making this a slower form of financing for your pharmacy. 

Here are the three most popular types of SBA loans to consider for your pharmacy financing:

  • Microloans – Borrow up to $50,000 with few restrictions on how the funds can be used for your business.
  • 504 loans – Designed to make a large purchase, such as real estate or equipment. Borrow up to $5 million.
  • 7(a) loans – These loans also have a large maximum of $5 million for qualifying businesses. The funds can be used more broadly for working capital needs.
