What Our Clients Say
"I've worked with Brobas for a long time. They provided financing with a minimal down payment, which was crucial for me. Since then, I've grown with them and plan to open a fourth location."
Nikola T.
Fleet Owner
"The first day after submitting documents, they gave me a full breakdown of my situation and explained the strategy. I got a great offer, and now the truck works for me, not the other way around."
Oleh O.
Owner-Operator
"Brobas has great relationships with banks. The monthly payment they offered was comparable, if not lower, than equipment financing. You won't get the same terms walking into a street bank."
Natalya P.
Business Owner
Every doctor asks the same first question: what is my rate? The honest answer is that four things set it, and any broker quoting one teaser number is hiding at least three of them. Your rate on medical equipment financing comes down to your credit score, the ticket size, the term you choose, and your time in practice. A seasoned oral surgeon financing a $340,000 Carestream CS 9600 CBCT over 72 months lands very differently from a three-year-old practice buying a $30,000 Midmark room on 36 months. Brobas Capital Partners works with more than 500 lenders and funds from $25,000 to $1,000,000, and we show you the real ranges up front. Well-qualified files start from 5.49% APR; most approvals land somewhere between there and roughly 6.99% depending on those four levers. Nothing here is guaranteed, and no rate survives fine print you were never shown. This page breaks down exactly what moves your number and what a real approval looks like.

The Four Levers That Set Your Rate
Your rate is not a mystery and it is not one number. Four things move it:
- Credit score. The single biggest lever. Strong personal credit (720+) starts from 5.49% APR. Mid-band files (660 to 719) tend to land in the high 5s to low 6s. Challenged credit runs toward the top of the range, near 6.99%, or asks for more down.
- Ticket size. Bigger, well-collateralized deals often price better per dollar. A $340,000 CBCT can carry a lower rate than a $30,000 soft-cost bundle, because the imaging system is strong collateral.
- Term. Shorter terms usually price lower. A 48-month deal typically beats an 84-month deal on rate, though the longer term lowers the monthly payment. There is a tradeoff and we show you both.
- Time in practice. A provider with 10 years in the seat is a safer bet than a first-year startup. More seasoning means better pricing and more desks competing for your file.
Move any lever and the number moves. Put more down, shorten the term, or wait for another year of history, and your rate improves. A good broker tells you which lever is actually worth pulling for your situation instead of just quoting the highest one.
Recent Funded Approvals
- $75,000 exam-room build for a family medicine practice, 8 years in practice, 748 score. Midmark 626 tables, an M11 autoclave, and a Fujifilm digital X-ray. 60 months at 5.74% APR, $0 down.
- $340,000 CBCT suite for an oral surgeon, 14 years in practice, 771 score. Carestream CS 9600. 72 months at 5.49% APR, 10% down.
- $120,000 OCT and imaging for an optometry practice, 5 years in practice, 690 score. Zeiss Cirrus 6000 OCT and an Optos California. 60 months at 6.29% APR, 10% down.
- $610,000 practice build-out for a dermatology group, 10 years in practice, 760 score. Sciton Joule, exam rooms, and cabinetry on one invoice. 72 months at 5.59% APR, 5% down.
Notice the spread: the highest rate here belongs to the newest practice with the lowest score, and the lowest rates to the seasoned, high-credit, well-collateralized deals. That is the four levers at work. None of these rates are guaranteed; yours depends on your file.
Section 179, Bonus Depreciation, and After-Tax Cost of Capital
The sticker rate is not your real cost of capital. Taxes change it. Under the 2025 tax law, Section 179 lets a qualifying practice expense a large share of equipment placed in service the same year, and 100% bonus depreciation was restored for assets placed in service after January 19, 2025. When you deduct a big portion of the purchase against income, the after-tax cost of the equipment drops well below the sticker price.
Here is why that matters for the rate conversation. A practice in a combined 35% tax bracket that finances a $340,000 CBCT and deducts it can effectively recover a large share of the cost through tax savings, while financing the payment over 72 months. So a 5.49% rate is really a low single-digit after-tax cost once the deduction is factored in. That is often cheaper than paying cash and losing the working capital.
Add the revenue side. A CBCT that keeps guided implant and airway cases in-house instead of referring them out can add six figures of annual production. Payment, deduction, and new revenue together are what make capital equipment pencil. Confirm the exact tax numbers with your CPA. We will structure the term and in-service date so the math lines up.
Why One Teaser Rate Is a Red Flag
If a lender or broker leads with a single low rate before seeing your file, be careful. That number is almost always the best-case rate for the strongest borrower, and the fine print quietly walks it back once you apply. Common tricks:
- Rate versus payment factor. Some quotes bury the real cost in a monthly payment factor that looks small but implies a much higher effective rate.
- Documentation fees and add-ons. A low rate with a fat origination or documentation fee can cost more than a higher rate with none.
- Rate at the top of the term. A teaser for 36 months that does not apply to the 72-month term you actually need.
We quote ranges, not bait. Qualified files start from 5.49% APR and most approvals land by roughly 6.99%, and we tell you where in that range your file sits and why. The rate we quote is the rate you sign. We would rather lose a shopper to a lower teaser they will never actually get than put our name on a number the fine print does not honor. Ask any lender to show you the all-in cost, not just the headline rate, and watch who gets quiet.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the medical equipment financing rate?
There is no single rate. Qualified files start from 5.49% APR and most land by roughly 6.99%, set by your credit score, ticket size, term, and time in practice. Anyone quoting one flat number before seeing your file is hiding the other levers.
How do I lower my rate?
Put more down, choose a shorter term, or wait until you have more time in practice. A larger, well-collateralized ticket on strong credit also tends to price better per dollar than a small soft-cost bundle.
Are longer terms more expensive?
Longer terms lower the monthly payment but usually carry a higher rate and more total interest. We show you both the payment and the all-in cost so you can choose with eyes open.
Why does one lender quote lower than another?
Each desk specializes in different deal sizes and credit bands. That is why we submit to the right ones instead of a single bank, so the desk that wants your file competes for it.
Is the quoted rate guaranteed?
The rate we quote is the rate you sign, but no rate is guaranteed until your file is approved. We do not lead with a teaser and revise it upward after you apply.
