😴 Financing Built for Sleep CentersI’m Kevin Kermeen, a nationwide commercial loan broker, not a bank.

Sleep medicine physician launching your own center? I match you to lenders who fund sleep centers and labs.
Sleep Center Financing for Every Stage
Whether you’re building a new sleep lab, buying an existing center, or adding beds and equipment, there’s a path built for it. Here’s what sleep center financing commonly covers at every stage.
Center Acquisition
Buy an established sleep center with beds, equipment and referrals in place. SBA 7(a) is built for this, often with limited money down.
Startup and De Novo
Open a new sleep lab, build-out, PSG equipment, sleep suites and working capital to reach study volume.
Polysomnography Equipment
Finance PSG systems, monitoring, EEG and the diagnostic equipment a sleep study requires.
Sleep Suites and Build-Out
Build comfortable, hotel-like sleep suites with monitoring, leasehold improvements and the full fit-out.
Home Sleep Testing and DME
Fund home sleep-testing devices and CPAP and DME inventory to add services and revenue.
Working Capital and Expansion
Cover payroll while insurance reimbursements catch up, add beds, or open a second sleep center.
A Sleep Physician Opened a Lab the Bank Found Too Niche to Fund
A board-certified sleep physician was ready to open an independent sleep center with a strong referral base, but the bank found the model unfamiliar and balked at the cost of the PSG equipment and the sleep-suite build-out for a new business.
They called me. I structured sleep center financing that combined an SBA-backed startup package for the suite build-out and working capital with equipment financing for the polysomnography systems, underwritten on the physician’s credentials, referral base and credit. It funded, the center opened, and study volume ramped quickly.
That’s what the right match looks like for a sleep center. Don’t Beg the Bank! Get funded instead.

Sleep center financing is different from a generic business loan. Lenders know sleep studies are steady, insurance-backed demand and the PSG equipment holds value, so a physician with strong credit, referrals and a workable plan is a strong borrower even opening a first center. I qualify deals honestly.

How I Match Sleep Center Financing to the Right Lender
Not every lender understands the sleep center model, with its PSG equipment and suite build-out, and the ones that do compete hard for good centers. I work with many, so I match your sleep center financing to the lender that funds your goal, startup, acquisition, equipment or build-out, and I review the options with you before you commit.
Here’s the reality for a sleep center. It pairs diagnostic equipment with a hotel-like build-out, the PSG systems and the private sleep suites both cost money, but sleep studies are steady, insurance-reimbursed demand, which makes a well-run center fundable. Sleep center financing usually combines equipment financing, where the polysomnography systems secure their own loan, with an SBA loan for the suite build-out and working capital. A physician with referrals and good credit can open or buy frequently with limited money down. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, the 7(a) program is designed precisely for this kind of business startup, acquisition and expansion.
The right structure depends on what you’re doing. Buying or starting a practice usually runs through an SBA 7(a) loan, and broader options live across the SBA loan programs. Polysomnography systems, monitoring and home sleep-testing devices are best matched to equipment financing, where the equipment is the collateral. If you want to own the building, an SBA 504 loan or commercial real estate loan gives long-term, fixed-rate terms. Opening de novo with little history points to startup business funding, and the ramp-up months are covered by working capital loans or a business line of credit.
So tell me about the center, building, buying or adding beds, and what you need. I’ll tell you honestly which sleep center financing option fits, match you to the lender most likely to approve it, and stay with you through closing.

Banks hand out umbrellas when the sun is shining, not when you’re weathering the storm … and they’ll call a sleep lab too niche to fund. I match you to sleep center financing built for where you are … open or buy a center through SBA, finance the PSG equipment and suites without draining cash, expand beds, and get a same-day callback from a broker who reviews every deal himself.
Loan amounts, terms, rates and funding speed shown reflect typical lender programs, not guarantees, and vary by lender, creditworthiness, practice performance, collateral and structure. Sleep center financing generally ranges from $10,000 to $5 million depending on the need. *Practice acquisition and startup are commonly financed through SBA 7(a); SBA loans follow standard SBA timelines and eligibility, and “no two years of history needed” refers to acquisition loans underwritten on the target practice’s cash flow rather than the borrower’s prior business history. Credit is considered along with other factors; there is no single hard minimum FICO simply to apply, but stronger credit supports better rates and terms, and not all applicants are approved. *No upfront fees refers to fees payable to 75BizLoans.com; I am compensated by the lender at closing. Some partner lenders may require a commitment fee or deposit upon your acceptance of their term sheet; any such fee is the lender’s, is disclosed before you commit, and is separate from any compensation to me. Final eligibility, rate, term and structure are determined by the lender. This is not a commitment to lend. Same-day approvals are common when the application reaches me before 9am Arizona Time.
