Working Capital Financing

Working Capital for Physicians Opening OBLs & ASCs

Equipment financing covers your tools. Working capital covers everything else.

Beyond Equipment

Beyond Equipment — Fund Your Full Launch

Equipment financing covers your C-arm, your angio suite, your surgical systems. But opening an Office-Based Lab or Ambulatory Surgery Center requires more than just equipment.

Payroll. Supplies. Leasehold improvements. Licensing fees. Insurance deposits. The gap between your first procedure and your first reimbursement check.

Trident Medical Finance helps physicians secure both equipment financing and working capital in a single streamlined process — so you open fully funded and ready to operate from day one.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Unsecured lines of credit can approve in 24–72 hours. SBA loans take 30–90 days. Practice startup loans typically take 2–4 weeks. We’ll match you with the right program for your timeline.
Yes. Many lenders will approve working capital based on your personal credit and your existing medical practice history, even if the new entity was just formed.
A line of credit is revolving — you draw what you need, repay it, and draw again. A term loan gives you a lump sum upfront with fixed monthly payments. Lines of credit are more flexible; term loans are better for large one-time needs like a build-out.
