What is a Medical Spa Business Loan?
Medical Spa Business Loans are industry-specific loans offered by traditional and non-traditional lenders to support various business needs. Today’s post will explain how such a loan can help your business grow.
A medical spa is a hybrid between a aesthetic medical center and a day spa with four core elements: (1) the provision of non-invasive aesthic medical services; (2) under the general supervision of a licensed physician; (3) performed by trained, experienced and qualified practioners; (4) with onsite supervision by a licensed healthcare professional.

Depending on the loan you qualify for, your medical spa can utilize these funds to cover any necessary expenses to ensure your business runs smoothly.

Types of Medical Spa Business Loans
Here are the types of loans and financing options available to qualifying medical spas:

SBA 7(a) loans are the most common within the SBA family. These types are typically adequate for most industries with up to $5 million in working capital for 25 years and an APR of 5-9%.
Equipment loans are funding options that allow for business-related equipment purchases. A Business Line of Credit is effectively a source of funds that borrowers can readily tap into at their discretion. Lenders often extend credit to creditworthy customers to address fluctuating cash flow needs. Companies opt-in for this loan can buy items such as a massage table, body contouring equipment, facial skin scrubbers, hot towel cabinets, and laser equipment.
Long-term Business loans provide borrowers with a lump sum of funds, with a repayment plan of regular intervals of 3 to 5 years. This financing option is best for businesses that need significant capital at a lower interest rate.
Short-term Business loans provide a lump sum upfront to a borrower and have a repayment period of three months to two years.
There are plenty of advantages to utilizing a medical spa business loan. Short-term loans have almost no limitations on their uses, and borrowers can decide how to spend the funds once they receive them within 1-2 business days. These loans and financing options are intended for businesses within this niche to expand and ultimately acquire new customers to be successful.
