Asset Classes

Medical equipment we finance

Our capital sources cover a wide range of healthcare and dental equipment categories. If your specific asset is not listed, contact us. We handle specialty equipment requests across most clinical settings.

Imaging Systems

MRI machines, CT scanners, X-ray systems, ultrasound equipment and DEXA bone density scanners. Imaging is capital-intensive and depreciates slowly, which makes it strong collateral for asset-based financing programs.

Dental Equipment

Dental chairs and delivery units, CBCT scanners, panoramic X-ray systems, CAD/CAM milling machines and autoclaves. Our capital sources include programs designed specifically for dental practices at all stages.

Surgical Equipment

Operating room tables, anesthesia machines, laparoscopic tool systems, surgical lasers and electrosurgical units. Surgery center and ambulatory surgical center equipment qualifies under dedicated programs.

Laboratory Equipment

Chemistry analyzers, hematology analyzers, centrifuges, PCR machines, microscopes and lab automation platforms. In-house lab equipment reduces referral costs and pays for itself quickly.

Diagnostic Technology

EKG and ECG systems, patient monitoring stations, sleep study and polysomnography equipment, ophthalmology instruments and audiometry testing systems. Diagnostic assets qualify under standard medical equipment programs.

Sterilization and Support

Autoclaves and steam sterilizers, ultrasonic cleaners, HVAC and air filtration systems for clean environments and medical-grade storage and cart systems. Infrastructure assets can often be bundled with primary equipment in a single facility financing package.

Eligibility

Who qualifies for medical equipment financing

We work with healthcare providers across most clinical specialties and practice types. Two or more years in business is preferred by most capital sources, but newer practices with strong practitioner credit profiles are considered under specialty healthcare programs.

The key qualifying factors are your personal and business credit profile, the practice revenue relative to the requested payment and the equipment value. Because the equipment serves as its own collateral, underwriting is faster and more accessible than traditional bank financing for most practices.

Buckle Up Capital is a broker, not a lender. We do not lend directly. We match your practice to capital sources in our network that are the right fit for your equipment type and financial profile.

Application Process

How medical equipment financing works

1

Submit your equipment details and a vendor quote or purchase invoice. We do not pull credit at intake. The whole intake takes about five minutes.

2

We match your request to capital sources in our network that specialize in medical and dental equipment financing. You receive a term sheet in 24 to 48 hours.

3

Accept the terms. The capital source performs a quick equipment appraisal. In most cases no additional collateral beyond the equipment is required.

4

Funds release directly to the vendor at closing. Equipment is delivered to your practice and you put it to work on day one.

For most medical equipment transactions under $150,000 the process runs on a streamlined one-page application with no formal business financials required. Larger transactions above $150,000 typically add two years of tax returns and a profit and loss statement.

Specialty or high-value equipment above $500,000 may require an independent appraisal. Our team coordinates all documentation requests so you can focus on your practice while we manage the financing process.

Rates and Terms

Medical equipment financing rates and terms

Rates start from 6.99% for practices with strong credit profiles and established operating histories. Because the equipment itself serves as collateral, rates are generally more competitive than unsecured business financing products.

Terms run from 36 to 84 months depending on the asset. Imaging systems and surgical equipment with long productive lives qualify for longer terms. Diagnostic technology that refreshes on a three to five year cycle is better matched to shorter terms or operating lease structures.

Many programs also allow soft costs such as equipment installation, staff training and extended service contracts to be rolled into the financed amount. This means your practice can have the equipment operational with no cash outlay beyond the first month's payment.

No prepayment penalty is available on many programs, giving practices the flexibility to pay off equipment early if cash flow allows. Final rates and terms are disclosed in the term sheet from the capital source.

Comparison

Lease vs finance: which is right for your practice

Both structures let your practice acquire equipment without a large upfront purchase. The right choice depends on how long you plan to use the asset and whether ownership or balance sheet treatment matters for your practice.

Equipment Loan

You own the equipment

Full depreciation benefit on your practice taxes
Best for imaging systems and surgical assets with long useful lives
Builds equity in a practice asset
No residual payment at end of term
Equipment appears on the balance sheet

Operating Lease

Lower payments, easy upgrades

Lower monthly payment than a loan
Keeps equipment off the balance sheet
Best for diagnostic tech and fast-depreciating assets
Simple path to upgrade to newer equipment at term end
Purchase at residual value or return the equipment

Not sure which structure fits your practice? Tell us what equipment you need and we will present both options with actual payment estimates. Most practices benefit from seeing side-by-side numbers before committing to a structure. We offer both loan and lease programs through capital sources in our network.
