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.
