Here is a list of factors that influence your medical equipment financing amount.

1. Equipment cost

The primary factor that influences your financing amount is the cost of the medical equipment you wish to acquire. Lenders take into account the total purchase price, including any additional expenses such as taxes, delivery charges, and installation fees. The financing amount is typically determined based on the equipment's market value, or the invoice price provided by the supplier.

2. Down payment

Most medical equipment financing options require a down payment, which is a percentage of the equipment's total cost that you pay upfront. The down payment reduces the financing amount that you need to borrow. The specific percentage may vary depending on the lender and your creditworthiness. A higher down payment can lead to a lower financing amount and potentially more favourable loan terms.

3. Creditworthiness

Your creditworthiness, including your credit score and financial history, plays a significant role in determining the financing amount. Lenders assess your creditworthiness to evaluate the risk involved in lending you the funds. A strong credit profile with a higher credit score and positive financial track record may qualify you for a higher financing amount at more favourable interest rates.

4. Repayment capacity

Lenders evaluate your repayment capacity to ensure that you can comfortably repay the loan. They assess factors such as your income, existing debts, and financial stability. A higher repayment capacity may result in a larger financing amount, while a lower repayment capacity may lead to a smaller loan offer.

5. Lender policies and requirements

Different lenders have varying policies and requirements when it comes to medical equipment financing. They may have minimum and maximum loan amounts, specific eligibility criteria, and unique lending practices. It is essential to research and compare lenders to find the one that aligns with your financing needs and offers the desired financing amount.

Hence, by understanding these factors, you can better prepare yourself to seek the financing you need to acquire essential medical equipment and enhance the quality of care you provide in your healthcare practice or facility. Remember to evaluate your options carefully, compare lenders, and choose the financing solution that best suits your needs and financial capabilities.
