Portable Ultrasound Machines

Mobile imaging businesses qualify. We look at your active facility contracts, monthly revenue consistency, and time in business rather than assuming your revenue model is the same as a fixed clinic. A mobile provider with documented facility relationships and consistent monthly deposits is a fundable borrower even if the underwriting conversation looks a little different.

Laptop ultrasound systems use a clamshell form factor with the display integrated into the lid, which improves transportability but sometimes limits screen size and probe port configuration. Portable machines use a standalone chassis that can be set on a cart or carried independently. The imaging capability overlap is substantial; the form factor choice often comes down to how you transport the unit and what your storage situation looks like.

Two portable machines under a single vendor invoice can be financed together as one transaction. This simplifies paperwork and often yields better terms than two separate smaller agreements. The combined purchase price needs to meet the $50,000 minimum, which two portable systems from a major manufacturer almost certainly do.

Eighteen months is workable. Two years is typically the threshold for standard underwriting without additional conditions. At 18 months, we may ask for a personal guarantee from the practice owner, a slightly larger down payment, or a more complete financial package in addition to bank statements. It is not a disqualifying condition in most cases.

A new probe purchased from the same vendor and included on the same invoice can typically be included in the financed amount. Probe replacements are a common add-on to used machine purchases. If the probe is purchased from a different vendor on a separate invoice, it may need to be handled as a separate transaction or bundled under a master equipment agreement.
