How medical laboratories qualify for an SBA loan

SBA 7(a) loans are the most common path for medical laboratories financing acquiring or expanding a clinical lab. They run up to $5M, fund up to 90% of a project, and amortize over 10 years for a business purchase or up to 25 years when real estate is included. SBA 504 loans pair a bank loan with a CDC debenture for owner-occupied real estate and heavy equipment, typically at 10% down.

With 1,546 loans on record across 293 lenders and a 10.7% historical charge-off rate, medical laboratories are a well-understood credit to SBA lenders, but not every lender is active in this profession or comfortable with its deal structure. PeerSense reads the lending history and routes your deal to the lender most likely to approve and price it, then stays with you through closing.
