Fast, Flexible Funding for Your Medical Practice

From managing cash flow between medical aid payments to investing in new equipment, our funding is built for the realities of running a South African medical practice.

What is Medical Practice Finance?

Funding designed for the challenges of healthcare

Running a medical practice means managing patient care while navigating delayed medical aid reimbursements, equipment costs, and staffing pressures. Cash flow gaps are common, and they can slow your growth.

Medical Practice Finance gives you fast access to working capital, without the red tape of a traditional bank loan. It's unsecured, meaning no collateral is required, and repayments are structured around your turnover and billing cycles.

Step 1 :  Apply Online

Step 2 :  Your Tailored Offer

Step 3 :  Receive Funds

Step 1:
Apply Online

Complete a simple online application and upload your proof of residence, practice statements, and six months of bank records. It takes just a few minutes.

To qualify, your practice must be registered in South Africa, trading for at least 12 months, generating R50,000+ per month. You must be a South African citizen or have a qualifying guarantor. We do not fund start-ups.

Step 2:
Your Tailored Offer

We assess your details and design a funding solution tailored to your practice, with repayment terms you can manage confidently.

Repayments can be structured as a percentage of medical aid claims or turnover, via daily or weekly debit orders. We'll recommend the option that best fits your billing cycles.

Step 3:
Access Your Funds

Once approved, funds are deposited into your account within 24 hours, ready when your practice needs them.

FAQs:

How Long Does Approval Take?

Most medical practices are approved and funded within 24–48 hours of submitting the required information.

How Are Repayments Structured?

Repayments are made via daily or weekly debit orders, linked to your turnover or medical aid claims. This keeps your cash flow stable and predictable.

Can I Use the Funding for Equipment or Staff?

Absolutely. Many practices use it to upgrade equipment, hire locums, or bridge the gap between medical aid reimbursements.

Is This a Loan?

No. It's a cash advance: no collateral, no drawn-out bank processes. Approval is fast and repayment is designed around your practice.

Can I Apply for a Re-Advance?

Yes. Once 40% of your facility has been repaid, you qualify for a re-advance. If you didn't take the full amount initially, you can top up at any point.
