A well-established healthcare practice with multiple locations and 15 years of service faced an exciting opportunity to expand to the Gulf Coast of Florida. However, financial constraints posed significant challenges, necessitating an effective funding solution to support their growth ambitions.
Vision
The healthcare practice aimed to expand its reach and offer quality physical therapy services to the region. The vision was to establish a new location that would provide comprehensive physical therapy services, meeting the needs of the growing community and enhancing the practice’s market presence.
Opportunity
The new region presented a substantial opportunity for expansion, with a growing population in need of quality healthcare services. By opening a new location, the practice could capture a significant market share, increase its patient base, and further solidify its reputation as a leading healthcare provider.
Challenge
The practice faced significant financial hurdles that jeopardized their expansion plans. Having already maxed out their bank line of credit (LOC) to cover initial office build-out costs, they were left without additional funds to manage ongoing expenses. Additionally, the strain of operational expenses, including hiring new staff and covering payroll, further complicated their financial situation. These challenges created a pressing need for additional capital to ensure the completion of the new location and maintain financial stability.
