Paid-off equipment is capital in a different form. Cash-out refinancing lets you borrow against the value of ultrasound systems you own, converting that equity into unrestricted cash while the equipment stays in your facility and keeps generating scan revenue. It is not a sale, so you retain title. It is not a conventional practice loan, so the underwriting is grounded in the equipment's value as much as your credit history. For practices that own their systems but are short on liquid capital, this structure can move quickly and deliver funds without disrupting the clinical operation.
We structure cash-out refinancing on ultrasound equipment from $50,000 upward. The amount you can borrow depends on the current market value of the system and your loan-to-value position. A practice carrying a free-and-clear premium cart worth $160,000 might access $100,000 to $130,000 in cash, depending on the structure and credit profile.
