Mobile ultrasound providers scan where the patient is, not where a fixed facility happens to be located. That model, whether it means bringing a system into a rural physician's office, a long-term care facility, a correctional facility, a dialysis center, or a client's home, depends entirely on having equipment that is reliable, portable, and capable enough to produce diagnostic-grade images in conditions that are nothing like a hospital radiology department. The business case for mobile ultrasound is strong, particularly in regions where access to imaging infrastructure is thin, but it lives or dies on having the right system and the financial structure to own it without exhausting operating capital.
We finance ultrasound equipment for independent mobile providers, mobile imaging companies, and hospital-based mobile imaging programs. Our minimum is $50,000. Mobile ultrasound transactions frequently fall somewhere in the $60k–$150k band for a complete portable system with probe set, which sits comfortably within our application-only approval limit of approximately $400,000. Funding takes about one to two weeks. B and C credit profiles are considered.
