The specifics

A new clinic in Nevada may qualify for a medical practice loan of up to $600 k through banks that carry the SBA 7‑A or through private lenders that offer practice‑solution programs. Lenders will typically require a 12‑month bank‑statement review and a debt‑service‑coverage ratio of at least 1.25× the projected cash flow, which translates to a monthly payment between 8 % and 12 % of gross revenue​bankofamerica.com. The loan term is usually 48‑84 months​ibisworld.com, with an APR ranging from 9 % to 13 % for new equipment​liveoak.bank. A down‑payment of 15 %–20 % of the equipment cost is standard, and borrowers who can secure collateral in the form of the purchased equipment may see a 1 %–3 % APR reduction​merchantbankingresources.com.

In Nevada, roughly 18 % of fair‑credit applicants are denied. See our denial‑rate study for deeper data.

Qualification & edge cases

The answer changes only if credit, cash flow, or operational history fall short of the usual thresholds. A FICO below 620 triggers a 3 %–5 % APR premium​ibisworld.com, and lenders may require a larger down‑payment (20 %–30 %). If a startup cannot keep monthly payments within 8 %–12 % of revenue, an alternative is a short‑term working‑capital line, which tends to carry 8 %–15 % APR​medicaleconomics.com. Early‑stage practices that lack a lease‑free premises may need to negotiate a lease‑purchase arrangement; most lenders prefer owned space but will consider a lease when the debt‑service ratio remains acceptable​marketresearchfuture.com. If your practice makes under $250 k annually, you can still seek a 7‑A loan; processing can take 30–45 days​alliedmarketresearch.com.

Background & how it works

The sector is driven by predictable medical revenue and state‑approved financing programs. Latent demand kicks off an asset‑based loan secured by equipment or leased assets. Under SBA guidelines, the borrower’s projected revenue must outweigh the loan’s implied monthly payment by at least 25 %​sba.gov. Lenders also review the applicant’s business plan, patient volume, and current debt load; a strong DSCR and a minimal competitive overlap boost approval chances. Once approved, the loan is used to buy out‑of‑the‑box equipment, expand outpatient rooms, or smooth cash flow gaps during the first 12 months of operation​nerdwallet.com.

Bottom line

A Nevada practice startup can secure a loan with a 620–679 FICO, 8–12 % payment to revenue, and a 15 %–20 % down‑payment. See what rate you qualify for now – no credit‑score hit.
