Frequently asked questions
Can I use an SBA loan for 100% of a dental practice acquisition?
Yes, for qualified medical and dental professionals, certain SBA 7(a) structures allow for up to 100% financing. This often includes the purchase price, professional fees, and initial working capital, provided the practitioner has the necessary clinical experience and a strong credit profile.
What are the typical terms for healthcare practice SBA loans?
SBA 7(a) loans for practice acquisitions typically offer terms up to 10 years for goodwill and equipment, and up to 25 years if real estate is included. Rates are generally based on the Prime Rate plus a spread, providing a lower-cost alternative to conventional commercial debt.
How long does the practice acquisition funding process take?
A standard SBA acquisition loan typically closes within 45 to 90 days. However, CapitalNexus streamlines this by ensuring all financial documentation, valuations, and site requirements are addressed proactively to avoid common underwriting delays.
Does CapitalNexus handle acquisitions exceeding the $5M SBA limit?
Absolutely. While the SBA 7(a) cap is $5M, we specialize in structured finance that combines SBA components with conventional debt or private equity to facilitate acquisitions ranging from $1M to over $250M.
Is collateral required for medical practice loans?
SBA guidelines require the lender to take available collateral, but a lack of collateral is not a reason for denial if the practice demonstrates strong cash flow. In many medical and dental acquisitions, the enterprise value and the assets of the practice itself serve as the primary security.
