What is Pharmacy Finance?

Funding for the pharmaceutical sector covers a wide range of needs, including purchasing and fitting out a new commercial property, investing in pharmacy robotics technology, and stabilising cash flow through invoice financing.

It is reassuring to know that this type of financial support is adaptable to suit the changing needs of your sector as well as ongoing technological advancements, whilst also protecting your business’ finances.

Our healthcare team provides finance for a plethora of healthcare assets to businesses across the UK.

What types of pharmacy funding are available?

Business acquisition loans: Business acquisition loans allow you to acquire or merge with an existing pharmacy to grow your business without using up valuable capital. This type of funding offers capital and interest repayment structures as well as equity financing, in which you sell shares to private investors to raise money for the deal.

Financing pharmacy equipment: Purchasing pharmacy equipment outright can place a significant strain on business capital, but you can avoid this by using specialist funding, including hire purchase and finance leases.

Is pharmacy finance right for your business?

These flexible funding solutions can be instrumental in helping you establish and grow your pharmacy business. Whether you have a business acquisition in mind or want to implement a business development strategy, pharmacy financing provides the tailored support you need whilst protecting your business capital.
