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
Brobas Capital Partners finances podiatry practices from a single-DPM startup to a multi-location group, and we know the equipment a foot and ankle office actually runs. A Hologic Fluoroscan InSight or OrthoScan mini C-arm for in-office fluoroscopy, a weight-bearing DR x-ray from 20/20 Imaging or Carestream, a Storz Duolith or CuraMedix shockwave unit for chronic plantar fasciitis, a Cutera GenesisPlus or Aerolase Neo laser for onychomycosis, and Midmark 647 powered exam chairs. Most podiatry equipment runs $15,000 to $150,000: a mini C-arm $30,000 to $70,000, shockwave $25,000 to $50,000, a nail laser $30,000 to $60,000, and a powered chair $8,000 to $15,000. We work with more than 500 lenders, consider all credit profiles, and understand that a lot of podiatry income is cash-pay: laser nail treatment, orthotics, and shockwave that insurance still fights. Rates start from 5.49% APR for qualified DPMs, and funding usually lands in three to seven business days once we have the invoice and application.
Why Choose Brobas for Podiatry Equipment Financing
Imaging, shockwave, and laser in one deal
Mini C-arm, weight-bearing DR x-ray, shockwave, nail laser, and powered exam chairs financed together or one at a time, including install, software, and warranty.
All credit profiles considered
500-plus lenders means a first-year DPM with a mid-600s score and a mature group with a 780 both get real terms. Challenged credit changes the rate, not the answer.
We understand cash-pay podiatry
Laser nail treatment, orthotics, and shockwave collect up front. We structure notes around those cash lines, with ramp-up options while a new service builds volume.
Funding in three to seven days
Rates from 5.49% APR for qualified DPMs, with most approvals closing within a week of a signed invoice and a completed application.

What podiatry equipment we finance
Podiatry equipment splits into imaging, energy-based therapy, and the exam room, and we fund all of it. In-office fluoroscopy is the anchor: a Hologic Fluoroscan InSight mini C-arm runs $30,000 to $70,000, and an OrthoScan Mobile DI is in the same range. A weight-bearing DR x-ray unit for standing foot films, from 20/20 Imaging, Carestream, or CompuMed, lands at $30,000 to $80,000 depending on the panel and software. Extracorporeal shockwave for chronic plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy costs $25,000 to $50,000, whether it is a Storz Medical Duolith SD1 through CuraMedix, a Chattanooga unit, or a Zimmer enPuls. Nail-fungus lasers run $30,000 to $60,000: a Cutera GenesisPlus, an Aerolase Neo Elite, or a PinPointe FootLaser. Powered podiatry exam chairs from Midmark (the 647) or Boyd are $8,000 to $15,000. Add a debridement and instrument setup, autoclave, and cabinetry and a full new office runs $80,000 to $150,000. We finance the equipment plus install, software, and warranty, and we handle refurbished mini C-arms and lasers when a strong pre-owned unit saves you half the price of new.

- $34,500, Storz Duolith SD1 shockwave through CuraMedix, three-DPM group 11 years in, 761 credit, 5.69% APR over 60 months, $0 down.

Time in practice and score move the rate. A newer DPM with a mid-600s score still gets funded, usually with a down payment and a rate closer to 6.79%. Every deal here closed within a week of a signed invoice and a completed application.
Revenue, ROI, and the Section 179 deduction
The numbers work because the cash-pay lines are strong. A $34,500 shockwave system financed near $660 a month covers itself quickly when you charge $300 to $500 per session for a three to five session plantar fasciitis package that many patients pay out of pocket. A $40,000 nail laser financed around $760 a month bills at $250 to $1,000 per treatment course; even a handful of onychomycosis patients a week clears the note with room to spare. A mini C-arm changes the practice differently: it keeps injections, reductions, and pre-op films in-house, which speeds care and captures the imaging fee instead of sending it out. On taxes, Section 179 lets you deduct the full price of qualifying equipment the year you place it in service, up to $2.5 million for 2026, and 100% bonus depreciation applies to equipment put in service after January 19, 2025. On a $58,000 mini C-arm, a DPM in the 32% bracket could see roughly $18,000 in first-year tax savings while only a few months of payments have come due. Financing keeps that deduction and your cash reserves both intact. Your CPA should confirm the exact numbers for your entity.
In-office imaging and the cash-pay lines that pay it off
Podiatry lives on a mix of insurance and cash, and the cash lines are exactly what a good equipment deal is built to serve. Laser nail treatment, custom orthotics, and shockwave are largely out of pocket, they collect up front, and they repeat. That predictable cash makes a level monthly note easy to support, and for a brand-new energy-based service we can structure a lighter payment for the first 60 to 90 days while you market it and build volume. In-office fluoroscopy and weight-bearing x-ray do something else: they keep imaging revenue and control inside the practice instead of referring it out, and they shorten the path from exam to injection or casting in the same visit. For a startup DPM, we look at the license, personal credit, and the plan, not just tax returns a bank would insist on. All credit profiles are considered, and challenged credit shifts the rate and may ask for a down payment rather than ending the deal. We also finance used mini C-arms and lasers, which is often the smartest first purchase for a young practice watching every dollar. Send the vendor quote and where the practice stands, and we come back with real terms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you finance a podiatry startup or a DPM buying their first office?
Yes. First-office and startup DPMs are a big part of what we fund. Rather than demanding years of tax returns, we look at personal credit, the license, and the plan for the practice. Newer DPMs typically fund with a modest down payment at a rate a little above the 5.49% floor, and we can finance the whole first-office equipment list on one approval.
What credit score do I need for podiatry equipment financing?
There is no hard floor. All credit profiles are considered across our 500-plus lenders. Strong credit reaches rates from 5.49% APR; challenged credit still funds, usually nearer 6.99% and sometimes with a down payment. We shop your file to the lender that prices podiatry and your credit profile best.
Do you finance a used or refurbished mini C-arm?
Yes. A well-maintained refurbished Hologic Fluoroscan or OrthoScan mini C-arm is often half the price of new, and it is a common first imaging purchase for a solo DPM. We finance pre-owned imaging, shockwave, and laser equipment from reputable vendors.
Can you finance shockwave and nail lasers even though insurance often does not cover them?
Yes, and cash-pay actually helps. Laser nail treatment, orthotics, and shockwave collect up front and repeat, which makes the monthly payment easy to support. We can structure a lighter payment for the first 60 to 90 days while you build volume on a new service, then level it out.
Is podiatry equipment tax deductible?
Usually, through Section 179 and bonus depreciation. Section 179 can let you deduct the full cost the year you place the equipment in service, up to $2.5 million for 2026, and 100% bonus depreciation applies to equipment put in service after January 19, 2025. Financing preserves the deduction and your cash. Confirm the details with your CPA.
