Funding for your situation
What a breakdown really costs a veterinary clinic, how fast funding can move, and a worked example with illustrative numbers.
✓ Checking what you qualify for does not affect your credit score.
When a digital x-ray fails, a veterinary clinic does not just lose the repair cost. It loses the revenue the equipment produced while it was down. The X-ray unit failed and referrals now go to another clinic.
Merchant Fund Express is a funding marketplace: you apply once, and the file is matched to the structure that fits it. The sections below show what this situation usually costs, how a funder reads it, and what to prepare.
Card payments at checkout with steady daily deposits; pharmacy and boarding add recurring revenue. A reviewer sees that pattern in the statements before reading a word of the application.
Equipment is part of the picture. A failure such as a digital x-ray or a autoclave can run $8,500 to $8,500 and interrupt revenue while it is down.
The documents that usually matter most for a veterinary clinic are equipment quote and lease or build-out bid, alongside the bank statements.
Spring and summer are heavier for wellness visits and parasite prevention. For a veterinary clinic, that rhythm decides when a funding request reads best and how it should be repaid.
| Cost item | Illustrative amount |
|---|---|
| Digital X-ray | $8,500 |
| Anesthesia machine | $5,400 |
| Autoclave | $4,300 |
| Lost revenue while the veterinary clinic operates short (two weeks, illustrative) | $14,560 |
| Cushion for overruns and slow early weeks (about 10%) | $3,500 |
| Total cost of the breakdown | $36,260 |
Sizing check. If the full repayment shown in an offer were $47,000 over about 26 weeks, the weekly debit would be about $1,808. Against illustrative monthly deposits of $35,000 (about $8,077 a week), that is roughly 22% of weekly deposits. Your own offer states the real repayment amount in dollars; run your numbers on the factor rate calculator before you accept anything.

These are the same factors described on revenue and deposit requirements and time in business. Merchant Fund Express walks you through how your own file reads before you apply.
A complete file is what makes a same-day decision possible. If something is missing, tell us and we will work around it.
Merchant Fund Express gives a same-day decision on a complete file, and funding is typically the next business day after signing. A written repair quote and three months of statements are what move it along.
That depends on the age of the equipment and the repair quote relative to replacement. If replacement is the better answer, equipment financing can be built around the new asset.
It depends on the existing position and how the account is behaving. See existing positions and stacking and second position funding.
The minimum FICO is 500, and better credit means better products and terms. See credit score requirements for how the tiers work.
