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

Nephrologist or operator launching your own center? I match you to lenders who fund dialysis centers.
Dialysis Center Financing for Every Stage
Whether you’re building a new dialysis center, buying an existing one, or adding stations, there’s a path built for it. Here’s what dialysis center financing commonly covers at every stage.
Center Acquisition
Buy an established dialysis center with stations and a patient base in place. SBA 7(a) is built for this, often with limited money down.
Startup and De Novo
Open a new dialysis center, build-out, machines, water system and working capital to reach station capacity.
Dialysis Machines and Stations
Finance hemodialysis machines, dialysis chairs and complete stations without draining your cash reserves.
Water Treatment and RO Systems
Fund the medical-grade water-treatment and reverse-osmosis systems every dialysis center depends on.
Specialized Build-Out and Real Estate
Finance the special plumbing, electrical and station fit-out a center needs, or own the building outright.
Working Capital and Reimbursement Gap
Cover payroll and operations while Medicare and insurance reimbursements catch up, or open a second center.
A Nephrologist Built an Outpatient Dialysis Center the Bank Wouldn’t Fund
A nephrologist wanted to open an outpatient dialysis center to keep patients out of hospital-based units, the demand was clear, but the bank balked at the cost of the machines, the water system and the specialized build-out for a new business.
They called me. I structured dialysis center financing that paired an SBA-backed startup package for the build-out and working capital with equipment financing for the dialysis machines and water-treatment system, underwritten on the physician’s credentials, demand and credit. It funded, the center opened, and patients began treating close to home.
That’s what the right match looks like for a dialysis center. Don’t Beg the Bank! Get funded instead.

Dialysis center financing is different from a generic business loan, because the machines and water systems are valuable collateral and ESRD care is steady, Medicare-backed demand. Lenders know this, so an operator with strong credit, demand and a workable plan is a strong borrower. I qualify deals honestly.

How I Match Dialysis Center Financing to the Right Lender
Not every lender understands dialysis, with its costly machines, mandatory water systems and specialized build-out, and the ones that do compete hard for good centers. I work with many, so I match your dialysis center financing to the lender that funds your goal, build-out, acquisition, equipment or real estate, and I review the options with you before you commit.
Here’s the reality for a dialysis center. It is equipment-intensive, the machines, the medical-grade water system and the specialized plumbing and electrical add up fast, but ESRD care is steady, Medicare-backed demand, which makes a well-run center fundable. Dialysis center financing usually combines equipment financing, where the machines and water system secure their own loans, with an SBA loan for the build-out and working capital, and conventional commercial real estate if you own the building. A strong operator with demand and good credit can build 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 build-out, 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. Dialysis machines, water-treatment and reverse-osmosis systems 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 stations, and what you need. I’ll tell you honestly which dialysis center financing option fits, match you to the lender most likely to approve it, and stay with you through closing.

Loan amounts, terms, rates and funding speed shown reflect typical lender programs, not guarantees, and vary by lender, creditworthiness, practice performance, collateral and structure. Dialysis 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.
