Healthcare
Finance for dental chairs, diagnostic equipment, medical lasers and practice fit-outs. GDFS helps private practices, clinics and care providers invest in their services.
About this sector
Finance in the Healthcare sector
Healthcare and dental businesses face some of the highest capital expenditure requirements in any professional sector. A digital dental chair unit with integrated imaging can cost £30,000–£80,000; a cone beam CT scanner £50,000–£150,000. The technology required to deliver modern clinical standards keeps advancing — and so does the investment required to keep pace.
Finance allows practices to keep clinical technology current without tying up cash that is needed for staffing, compliance and premises. Hire purchase is common for high-value diagnostic equipment; finance lease works well for rapidly evolving technologies where being able to upgrade at term end matters.
GDFS works with lenders who understand healthcare asset values and clinical operating environments. We finance dental practices, physiotherapy and rehabilitation centres, care homes, veterinary practices and specialist medical clinics.

Common questions
Healthcare finance FAQs
-
Can you finance dental equipment such as chairs and X-ray units?
Yes — dental chairs, digital X-ray units, 3D CBCT scanners, CAD/CAM milling systems, and other dental equipment are all assets our specialist lenders will consider. Terms of 2–7 years are typical.
-
I'm buying a dental or medical practice — can you help?
Yes. We can arrange commercial mortgages and property finance for healthcare premises, as well as goodwill and practice acquisition loans.
-
Can a newly qualified clinician apply for equipment finance?
Yes, though lenders may require a business plan, projected income, or a personal guarantee. We work with lenders who specialise in new practice start-ups and understand the healthcare qualification pathway.
-
Do you work with CQC-registered care providers?
Yes — we work with residential care homes, domiciliary care businesses and other CQC-registered providers, helping fund everything from beds and hoists to vehicles, refurbishments, and new care home acquisitions.
