As you start your pharmacy and as a pharmacy clinic grows, you are most likely going to need to borrow the money to purchase new equipment and consumables, to extend a current pharmaceutical practice, or to buy more pharmacy clinics and build a group. No matter what you need it for, we can make sure you get the right finance for your pharmacy business.
When you are seeking a loan to buy, start or grow a pharmacy, banks and lenders will look at your personal finance history to help them ascertain whether you will be a secure and reliable client that can repay the loan.
If you do not currently own a pharmacy, your personal circumstances are one of the information sources that lenders will have to assess your ability to manage a pharmacy clinic when you acquire one.

Follow these 5 steps before you apply for finance:

The first step is to review your personal income and expenditure – look at it from an outside perspective, and consider what others would think about you when looking at your expenditure.
Make sure that you have a breakdown of your debt repayment schedule, showing all your payments, what they are for and who they are going to. Is it all a car loan or made up of some car loan and some professional qualification costs?
The second step is to obtain your bank statements and look at your bank account conduct. Do you stay in credit or within the overdraft limit? Are there any times when your finances get really stretched and if so, can you do anything about this?
Thirdly, obtain your credit score for free and make sure that it is correct. Check there is nothing on there you were not aware of, as credit scoring companies do often make mistakes.
Make sure your partner’s financial health is strong too. If borrowing in joint names you will both have an examination of your financial status.

It’s unlikely that you’ll be able to buy a pharmacy with your own money. You’ll almost certainly need to borrow at least some acquisition finance to make the purchase. The amount you need to borrow and how long it takes to pay back will depend on the value of the pharmacy clinic, your own financial situation and how much value you can add to the business, amongst a whole host of other things. We’ve helped countless healthcare professionals raise acquisition finance to purchase their healthcare business, we know what they’re really worth, what loan terms suit you and how to get it.
Equipping and maintaining a pharmacy is expensive. Your working capital will usually take less of a hit if you spread the cost out over a loan repayment, rather than one lump sum. With our buying group, the Samera Alliance, we not only help you raise asset finance, we can get you exclusive discounts and offers on your consumables and equipment.
We were finalists in the NACFB Commercial Mortgage Broker of the Year Awards 2021. Our in-house commercial mortgage brokers are experts at helping pharmacists purchase the property they need to start or grow their pharmacy business.
Instead of saving your income and paying your tax bill in individual lump sums, it is sometimes easier to spread the cost over the year with a tax loan. Our specialist accountants can help reduce your tax bill, while our finance brokers source the money to pay it.
We were recently approached by a locum pharmacist based in Yorkshire who was trying to purchase their first Pharmacy,
They explained that as they were purchasing a pharmacy from a corporate who had only provided management information (due to them having multiple sites) and that the lender they had approached were having difficulty ascertaining the true profits at the pharmacy,
After our initial discussion, we outlined the information we would need to approach lenders. We also explained that we had experience in helping clients purchase pharmacies from corporates who were only able to provide management information.
Once we had the information, we were able to put this into a format that was easy for the lenders to understand, demonstrating what the pharmacy costs were and provide an accurate net profit that could be relied upon for the application.
We were able to obtain three different offers from lenders for the client to choose from and they were able to purchase the target site.
