Cash-flow pressures medical, dental and wellness clinics often face

Staff, rent and supplies are paid monthly while insurers and third-party payers can reimburse slowly.

Equipment and renovations require large upfront costs.

Opening a new location means months of costs before revenue ramps.

What owners use financing for

  • Cover payroll and supplies while reimbursements are pending
  • Buy or upgrade equipment
  • Open or expand a location
  • Fund marketing for new patients

What lenders usually look at

  • Deposit consistency and payer mix
  • Time in business and licensing
  • Existing debt

Each lender sets its own requirements. Typical working capital programs also look for at least 6 months in business, regular deposits into a Canadian business bank account and roughly $10,000 or more in monthly revenue.

A hypothetical example

A hypothetical clinic opens a second location and covers rent and staff for four months before volume builds. The owner reviews working capital options to bridge the ramp.

This is a hypothetical illustration, not a client story or a promise of results. Approval, amounts, terms and timing are decided by each lender and depend on your own numbers.

We show you total repayment in dollars. Short-term working capital is usually faster and easier to qualify for than a bank loan, and usually costs more. You compare the options before you decide, and nothing goes ahead without your approval.

    What Xito does

    Xito is not a lender. We introduce businesses to independent lenders and funding providers.

    We review your numbers, explain your options and introduce you to lenders whose programs fit. The lender, not Xito, makes the credit decision and sets the terms.

    Who you will deal with

    Xito Capital Partners is a Calgary-based advisory firm led by Andrew Apedoe, with a background in valuation and investment banking. Many clients come to us before a sale, a refinancing or a lender review.

    How lenders read the financials of a medical or health clinic

    Where revenue comes from

    Clinics are paid by provincial health plans, private insurers and patients, and each pays on its own schedule. Lenders will want to see the split and how long each source takes to pay.

    Practitioners and compensation

    How practitioners are paid, whether as employees, contractors or owners, shapes the clinic’s costs and stability. Be ready to explain the arrangement and how it would change if one left.

    Equipment and premises

    Imaging, dental, lab and treatment equipment can be costly, and leasehold improvements add to the investment. Lenders ask for an equipment list and lease details.

    Practice purchases

    Buying a practice from a retiring owner is a common way to grow. Part of the price can sometimes be structured as a vendor take-back, and lenders look closely at the transition plan.

    Financing options to look at

    Which option fits depends on your history, your customers and how quickly you need funds. Each lender sets its own requirements and makes its own credit decision.

    What to have ready before a review

    Xito is not a lender. We explain which options may fit, show the total cost of each and introduce you to independent lenders.

    Common questions from medical, dental and wellness clinics

    Is practice acquisition financing available?

    Our lenders are mainly working capital providers, so larger structures are reviewed case by case.

    Does Xito lend money?

    No. Xito is not a lender. We review your situation and introduce you to independent lenders and funding providers. The lender makes the credit decision and sets the terms.

    What will financing cost?

    It varies by lender, amount and term. Short-term working capital is usually more expensive than a bank loan, so we show you the total repayment in dollars for each option before you decide.

    How long does it take?

    Timing depends on the lender, how quickly you send a complete file and approval. Smaller requests can move faster than larger ones. Timing is never guaranteed.

    What do I need to apply?

    Lenders commonly ask for recent business bank statements, owner identification and a void cheque. Larger requests may need financial statements, receivables aging and CRA balances. Each lender sets its own requirements.
