Quote My System

Chicago's healthcare ecosystem runs deep. From the academic towers on the Near North Side to community health centers on the West and South Sides, the city and its collar counties host one of the most complex and active medical markets in the Midwest. Imaging demand cuts across all of it, and ultrasound sits at the center of that demand because the probe can go where the patient is. Practices that want to add scan capacity without adding a dedicated suite, or upgrade aging equipment before it starts affecting image quality and reimbursement, come to us for structured financing that keeps cash in the practice.

Illinois-based practices have access to the full range of financing structures we offer: equipment loans that deliver ownership from day one, equipment leasing that keeps the asset off the balance sheet, sale-leaseback arrangements that convert owned systems into working capital, and refinancing for practices that financed equipment elsewhere at rates that no longer make sense. The minimum transaction is $50,000, and most deals close in one to two weeks.

We finance new equipment from authorized dealers, certified refurbished systems from established vendors, and used equipment with documented service histories. Portable ultrasound machines and cart-based platforms are the most common transactions in this market, but we handle the full range from handheld point-of-care devices through premium cardiac and radiology systems priced well above $150,000.

Questions About Ultrasound Equipment Financing in Chicago, IL

Review the common timing, documentation, and equipment questions before sending the quote.

Can I finance a single probe or transducer in addition to the system itself?

Probe and transducer purchases can be bundled into the same financing agreement as the main system, which often makes sense because probes can add significantly to the total transaction. A standalone transducer purchase that falls below $50,000 is harder to finance independently, but bundling with a concurrent system acquisition is typically no problem.

My Chicago practice is going through a physician partnership change. Does that complicate financing?

It can add a step or two, depending on the timing and structure. If ownership is in transition, we may need documentation of the incoming ownership structure and personal guarantees from the incoming owners. Practices that are mid-transition but have a clear, documented path to stable ownership can still proceed.

Is there a prepayment penalty if we pay off the equipment loan early?

Prepayment terms vary by agreement. Some structures carry a modest prepayment fee in the early years; others are fully open to early payoff. We disclose prepayment terms clearly before you sign, and we can often structure agreements with no prepayment penalty if that matters to your practice.

We financed an ultrasound at a high rate two years ago. Can we refinance it now?

Yes, if the remaining balance is sufficient to make a new transaction worthwhile and your current business profile qualifies for better terms than when you first borrowed. We run the numbers on refinancing scenarios regularly and can tell you quickly whether it makes sense in your case.

Does Chicago's sales tax apply to financed equipment purchases?

Illinois sales tax treatment of equipment financing depends on the structure of the transaction. Purchases are generally subject to Illinois sales tax at the time of acquisition. Certain lease structures may be taxed differently. Consult your accountant for the specifics given your transaction structure and business classification.
