Commercial Leaseback as a Strategic Funding Tool in Healthcare

Healthcare organizations operate in one of the most capital-intensive industries in the economy. Hospitals, outpatient centers, physician groups, imaging facilities, hospice, senior care etc, must continually invest in high-cost equipment, technology, and compliance—all while managing reimbursement pressures, labor, and regulatory complexity. In this environment, access to flexible, non-dilutive capital is critical.

One increasingly attractive funding strategy is the commercial leaseback, a structure that allows healthcare providers to unlock capital tied up in owned real estate or equipment without interrupting operations. When used strategically, leasebacks can improve liquidity, strengthen balance sheets, and support long-term growth.

What Is a Commercial Leaseback?

A commercial leaseback (often called a sale-leaseback) is a transaction in which a company sells an owned asset to an investor and simultaneously leases it back for continued use. The seller becomes the tenant, while the buyer becomes the landlord or equipment lessor.

Leasebacks can involve:

  • Commercial real estate (hospitals, medical office buildings, surgery centers, labs)
  • Healthcare equipment (imaging systems, surgical equipment, diagnostic devices, IT infrastructure)

From the provider’s perspective, the transaction converts an illiquid, fixed asset into immediate cash while preserving full operational control of the facility or equipment.

Why Leasebacks Are Particularly Relevant in Healthcare

Healthcare providers often hold a disproportionate amount of capital in non-earning assets. A hospital campus, imaging center, or fleet of high-value equipment may be essential to operations but does not directly generate financial returns in the way clinical services do.

Leasebacks address several structural challenges common in healthcare:

  1. Capital constraints – Traditional bank financing may be limited, slow, or restrictive.
  2. Reimbursement pressure – Cash flow volatility makes liquidity critical.
  3. Rapid technology cycles – Equipment becomes obsolete faster than real estate depreciates.
  4. Growth demands – Expansion, acquisitions, and service line investments require capital.
  5. Balance sheet optimization – Asset-heavy balance sheets can limit strategic flexibility.

By monetizing owned assets, healthcare organizations can redeploy capital into patient care, growth initiatives, and operational improvements.

Real Estate Leasebacks in Healthcare

Common Asset Types

  • Acute-care hospitals
  • Medical office buildings (MOBs)
  • Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs)
  • Imaging centers
  • Behavioral health facilities
  • Specialty clinics and labs

In a real estate leaseback, the healthcare provider sells the property to an investor—often a healthcare-focused real estate fund or REIT—and signs a long-term lease, typically ranging from 10 to 25 years.

Benefits of Real Estate Leasebacks

Immediate liquidity
The transaction can free millions (or tens of millions) of dollars in capital that was previously tied up in bricks and mortar.

Operational continuity
Providers continue operating in the same facility with no disruption to patient care, staff, or branding.

Predictable occupancy costs
Long-term leases provide rent certainty, aiding budgeting and financial planning.

Risk transfer
Ownership risks such as market value fluctuations, structural obsolescence, and certain capital expenditures may shift to the investor, depending on lease terms.

Strategic focus
Management can focus on clinical outcomes and growth rather than property ownership.

Considerations and Trade-Offs

  • Lease terms may include escalators tied to inflation or fixed annual increases.
  • Some leases are triple-net (NNN), meaning the tenant remains responsible for taxes, insurance, and maintenance.
  • Selling real estate reduces balance sheet assets, which may affect certain financial ratios.

For many healthcare providers, these trade-offs are acceptable when weighed against the liquidity and strategic flexibility gained.

Equipment Leasebacks in Healthcare

In addition to real estate, healthcare organizations often own millions of dollars in equipment—much of it rapidly depreciating but mission-critical.

Common Equipment Eligible for Leaseback

  • MRI, CT, PET scanners
  • Linear accelerators
  • Surgical robots
  • Cath lab equipment
  • Laboratory and diagnostic systems
  • IT and data center infrastructure

An equipment leaseback involves selling owned equipment to a lessor and leasing it back under fixed terms, often aligned with the useful life of the asset.

Why Equipment Leasebacks Make Sense

Unlocks trapped capital
Many providers own equipment outright that no longer supports financing but still holds significant market value.

Preserves clinical capability
Providers continue using the same equipment without interruption or retraining.

Aligns cost with usage
Lease payments spread the cost of equipment over time, matching expenses to revenue generation.

Supports technology refresh cycles
Lease structures can include upgrade or replacement options, helping providers avoid technological obsolescence.

Alternative to debt
Equipment leasebacks may be off-balance-sheet or treated differently than traditional loans, depending on accounting standards and structure.

Strategic Uses of Leaseback Capital in Healthcare

Healthcare organizations commonly use leaseback proceeds to:

  • Fund expansions or new service lines
  • Acquire physician practices or ambulatory centers
  • Invest in digital health, EHRs, and cybersecurity
  • Reduce higher-cost debt
  • Stabilize working capital during reimbursement delays
  • Support turnaround or restructuring initiatives

Unlike equity financing, leasebacks do not dilute ownership or governance control—an important consideration for physician-owned groups and nonprofit systems.

Regulatory and Compliance Considerations

In healthcare, leasebacks must be structured carefully to comply with applicable regulations, including:

  • Stark Law
  • Anti-Kickback Statute
  • Fair Market Value (FMV) requirements
  • Commercial reasonableness standards

Lease terms must reflect market rates and legitimate business purposes. Working with experienced healthcare legal counsel and specialized investors is essential to avoid compliance risk.

Who Uses Healthcare Leasebacks?

Leasebacks are used across the healthcare spectrum, including:

  • Independent physician groups
  • Multi-site specialty practices
  • Ambulatory surgery center operators
  • Regional hospital systems
  • Behavioral health and post-acute providers
  • Private equity-backed healthcare platforms

They are particularly valuable for organizations in growth mode or those seeking balance sheet flexibility without taking on additional traditional debt.

Conclusion

Commercial leasebacks—covering both real estate and equipment—represent a powerful but underutilized funding strategy in healthcare. By converting owned assets into liquid capital, providers can strengthen financial resilience, support growth, and focus on their core mission: delivering high-quality patient care.

In an industry facing constant change and capital pressure, leasebacks are not merely a financing tool—they are a strategic option for healthcare organizations seeking flexibility, stability, and long-term sustainability.

Outside The Box Funding for Medical Practice and Healthcare Business

Whether you are a physician’s office or in some form of healthcare delivery  you accept or should be accepting credit cards. This opens the door for an excellent form of credit line funding known as a merchant advance (MCA).

A merchant cash advance (MCA) is a form of business funding designed for companies that generate consistent revenue and may need fast access to working capital. Unlike traditional bank loans, an MCA is not technically a loan. Instead, it is the purchase of a portion of a business’s future receivables in exchange for a lump-sum amount of funding, the business agrees to repay the advance using a percentage of daily or weekly sales or a fixed debit schedule drawn directly from its business bank account.

One of the main advantages of an MCA is the speed of funding. Many providers can approve applications and deposit funds within 24 to 72 hours. This makes MCAs appealing to businesses that need to cover urgent expenses, seize a time-sensitive opportunity, or handle temporary cash-flow gaps. Additionally, credit requirements tend to be much more flexible compared to traditional financing. Businesses with lower credit scores or limited collateral can still qualify as long as they show consistent revenue.

There are two primary methods of repayment. The first is called split funding, where a small percentage of each credit card transaction is automatically taken out and directed to the provider. The second method, now more common, is ACH daily or weekly repayment, in which a set amount is withdrawn directly from the business’s bank account. Because of this arrangement, a business does not generally need a specific merchant account provider to receive an MCA. Most existing payment systems work just fine. The main requirement is being able to provide bank statements and revenue history.

However, it is important to understand the cost structure. Instead of an interest rate, MCAs use a factor rate, which is a multiplier applied to the advance amount. For example, if a business receives $20,000 and the factor rate is 1.25, the total repayment amount becomes $25,000. The factor rate does not change based on how quickly or slowly the business repays because many MCAs are repaid over a short period (often a few months).

To qualify, most providers look at revenue stability, average monthly sales, the length of time the business has been operating, and the consistency of deposits. A history of frequent overdrafts or insufficient funds may reduce approval chances. Businesses that process consistent daily or weekly sales, especially through debit and credit card transactions, tend to receive more favorable offers.

Before accepting an MCA, businesses should review the repayment method and ensure it fits with their cash flow. It is advisable to seek a consultant who is well versed on MCA’s. A repayment schedule that is too aggressive can create financial strain. It is also valuable to compare multiple offers, review all fees, and understand whether the agreement renews or stacks additional advances. As a note, once paid you can immediately pull another MCA. Also in most cases you will qualify for a higher loan amount at a lower factor.

Merchant cash advances can be a useful financing tool when used strategically. They provide speed, flexibility, and accessibility, especially for businesses that may not qualify for traditional loans. The key is to approach them with clear understanding, careful evaluation, and thoughtful planning to ensure they support the business rather than overwhelm it.

Exploring Alternatives: ‘Hard Money’ as an Outside-the-Box Small Business Funding Option

By August Trevino, Commercial Consultant

In the landscape of commercial finance, banks are not the sole arbiters of capital. Businesses often seek funding from alternative sources, including investment groups and private entities—collectively known in the industry as Hard Money Lenders. These lenders represent a distinct funding avenue, particularly beneficial for businesses with immediate capital needs or those who may not meet traditional bank loan criteria.

The Appeal of Hard Money Financing

The primary benefits of engaging with Hard Money Lenders center on speed and accessibility:

  • Expedited Funding: A key advantage is the significantly faster funding process. Qualified borrowers can often access loan proceeds or credit lines within days, sometimes as soon as 24 hours, compared to the protracted timelines of conventional banking.
  • Lower Qualification Hurdles: Hard Money Lenders typically impose more lenient credit score requirements. Qualification for a business term loan or line of credit may only require a personal FICO score of 600 to 680. While some business loans may necessitate an established business credit history, the overall barrier to entry is lower.
  • Emergency Capital Source: Although Hard Money Lenders may not offer the most affordable financing, their rapid funding capability and simplified application process make them an invaluable option for businesses facing emergency capital expenditures who cannot afford to wait through a traditional loan application and underwriting process.

Understanding the Trade-Offs

It is crucial for professional borrowers to understand the specific characteristics of this alternative funding:

  • Short-Term Nature: These loans are characteristically short-term, with repayment periods often ranging from 12 to 24 months.
  • Higher Interest Rates: The convenience and risk profile associated with this speed and leniency translate into higher interest rates compared to typical bank loans. However, starting Annual Percentage Rates (APR) can begin at 20%, which may, in certain cases, be competitive with or lower than some business credit cards.
  • Flexible Repayment Structures: Repayment schedules can vary widely, from weekly to monthly payments, often with automatic withdrawals, and may occasionally be structured as interest-only for the duration of the term.

Types of Hard Money Financing

Hard Money Lenders generally offer small businesses the opportunity to obtain financing through two primary product structures:

  • Business Term Loan: This is a lump-sum installment loan. Borrowers receive the entire principal amount upfront and repay the proceeds, plus interest and fees, according to a fixed schedule. Hard Money Lenders typically offer short-term business loans with repayment periods between 18 and 24 months.
  • Business Line of Credit (LOC): Functioning as a revolving account similar to a business credit card, the LOC grants the business a set credit limit. The borrower can draw up to this limit, and the credit becomes reusable as the balance is repaid during the draw period. Interest is only owed on the amount borrowed, not the full credit line.

Prepayment Flexibility

A significant feature of many Hard Money products is the option for early repayment. Lenders typically do not impose prepayment penalties if a term loan or line of credit is paid off ahead of schedule. Furthermore, some borrowers may qualify for a Prepayment Benefit, where the lender waives any remaining interest. However, in cases where this benefit is not granted, the borrower may still owe up to 75% of the remaining interest disclosed in the loan agreement upon early settlement.


Typical Product Details

 

Feature Details
Loan Amount $5,000 to $250,000+
APR (Annual Percentage Rate) Starting at 20%*
Typical Term 12–24 month repayment term (resets with each LOC withdrawal)
Repayment Schedule Weekly to monthly payments (typically automatic draw)
Funding Speed Instant funding availability (upon approval)
Minimum Credit Score Personal FICO score of 600
Bottom Line

For companies requiring rapid access to capital with minimal qualification requirements, Hard Money Lenders offer flexible term loan and line of credit solutions that serve as a viable and effective alternative to traditional bank financing.


Is your business currently evaluating its funding strategy, and if so, are these short-term, high-speed options a consideration?

Your Profit Margin is in the Details: Focusing on Patient Care and Your Books

What if you could focus solely on patient care, knowing that your financial operations are not only in order but also optimized for growth and sustainability? 

If you’re running a healthcare business, chances are your focus is on patient care or patient products and not profit margins, cost classifications, or what’s buried in your books. But your numbers hold powerful clues about what’s working, what’s leaking money, and what’s keeping you from scaling.

Here are a few simple places to start:

  • Review your Chart of Accounts – Are expenses lumped together in vague categories like “Miscellaneous” or “Office Supplies”? Clean categorization gives you clarity and control.
  • Separate Owner Spending – Mixing personal and business expenses doesn’t just create tax issues; it clouds your decision-making.
  • Check for Duplicates – Subscriptions, services, or staff hours might be charged twice and go unnoticed without regular reviews.
  • Reclassify Costs Correctly – Mislabeling a cost of goods sold as an overhead expense can distort your profitability.
  • Request Reports You Understand – If your current P&L or balance sheet leaves you guessing, it’s time to ask for insights.

Safeguarding your profit isn’t about taking shortcuts; it’s about paying close attention to the details.

If you are curious about what your reports are really saying, I recommend starting with the items listed above.

Getting Started with Zero Trust

By Eric Berard, MIS, CPHIMS

In an era of increasing cyber threats, the traditional approach of securing a network perimeter is no longer sufficient. Enter Zero Trust, a security framework that operates on the principle of “never trust, always verify.” This approach assumes that threats exist both inside and outside the network, and therefore, no user or device is inherently trusted.

Core Tenets of Zero Trust

  1. Verify Explicitly: Continuously validate the identity of users, devices, and applications using multiple factors such as authentication, device health checks, and role-based access controls.
  2. Least Privilege Access: Users and devices should have the minimum level of access necessary to perform their tasks. This limits the potential impact of a compromised account or system.
  3. Assume Breach: Zero Trust assumes that breaches are inevitable. By focusing on segmentation, continuous monitoring, and data encryption, it minimizes the damage caused by breaches and prevents lateral movement across the network.
  4. Micro-Segmentation: Divide your network into small segments with individual access controls to contain breaches and prevent unauthorized access to sensitive areas.
  5. Continuous Monitoring and Analytics: Track user behavior and network activity in real time to detect anomalies and respond to threats promptly.

How to Get Started with Zero Trust

Adopting Zero Trust is a strategic shift that requires a phased approach:

  1. Understand Your Assets: Identify critical data, applications, and systems. Conduct a risk assessment to pinpoint potential vulnerabilities.
  2. Establish Identity Controls: Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA), single sign-on (SSO), and identity management solutions to secure access.
  3. Segment the Network: Use micro-segmentation to isolate workloads, applications, and devices. Apply granular policies to control data flow.
  4. Monitor and Analyze: Deploy tools for continuous monitoring, such as Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, to track user and network behavior.
  5. Implement Access Policies: Use tools like zero-trust network access (ZTNA) and conditional access policies to enforce least privilege.
  6. Educate Your Team: Ensure your organization understands the principles of Zero Trust. Regular training and communication are key to its success.

The Path Forward

Zero Trust is not a one-size-fits-all solution; it’s an ongoing journey that adapts to your organization’s needs. By starting small—such as implementing MFA or segmenting sensitive systems—and scaling up, you can build a robust security posture that protects against evolving threats.

Embracing Zero Trust is not just about technology; it’s about adopting a proactive security mindset to safeguard your organization’s future.

Preparing to Sell Your Business- Advice from Gary Meyn

Preparing to Sell Your Business:
For those of you who own or know of somebody who owns a privately owned and profitable business, following are some things you should know as you plan for the future.

1. Have an Exit Plan in Place – Whether you started the business yourself or if you
acquired it and scaled it up over time, the time will come when you have to decide when
you and any partners must exit the business. Making a simple plan is recommended with
details to follow as you get five years from removing yourself from the business. Include
yourself and any partners in your exit plan. Maybe you plan on handing the business off to a family member.     Maybe a partner or partners want to buy you out. Or you may need to consider selling it. Either way your exit plan needs to be in place for a smooth transition once that time comes.

2. Financial Stability of the Business – Is your business profitable? Do you want it to be at
a certain level when you transition? Maybe you use your goal for the business as leverage
and motivation to scale your business up to a specific level during the time you have before
your exit. There have been many occassions where I have connected with an owner who wants to sell
their business and it is a shell of what the business once was. In these cases the owners
have grown to the point where they don’t want to work as hard and begin to ramp the
business down or just neglect it. In these cases the business will sell for a fraction of what
it once was. If you want to get the most out of the sale of your business make your plan to sell at it’s
financial Peak. This will garner more interest from potential buyers and bring a higher
asking price which will br more likely to stick at closing.

3. How Much Should I Ask For My Business? – Main Street to Lower Mid Market Businesses typically sell for a multiple of the Net Cash Flow or SDE (Sellers Discretionary Earnings). You should have good financials kept by a reputable bookkeeper and Accounting firm which will keep year to year financials on your Business. IE: Profit & Loss
Statements and Balance Sheets are common documents most buyers will want to see. Business Tax Returns will reflect your financials as you have submitted in each tax year and are generally the preferred document to review by potential buyers. Particularly those who will seek a lender to acquire the business. I have helped many business owners by reviewing their P&Ls and identifying valid add backs which increase the bottom line Net Cash Flow therefore enabling them to ask a higher multiple for the asking price.

For this article I have touched on some generalities and will elaborate in more detail and additional topics in future HLSA Newsletter Articles. Please call me for a free consultation or to learn about our Vested Business Brokers generous Referral Program.
