Physical therapy clinic financing — keep every treatment table booked
Loot offers physical therapy clinics an unsecured business line of credit from $5,000 to $100,000. Use it to cover equipment, payroll and supplies, or give your clinic the room to add a treatment room or open a second location without draining the cash needed for everything else. Established physical therapy clinics with 1+ year in business and $200K+ in annual revenue can check their options with a soft pull. Requests up to $30K get an instant decision, while larger requests may take a few more minutes.


Physical therapy clinic challenges: reimbursement timing, payroll and equipment
Running a physical therapy clinic means paying PTs, PTAs and front-desk staff on schedule, keeping treatment tables and modality equipment in working order, and waiting on insurance reimbursements that can take weeks or months to clear. A full schedule of visits doesn't always mean cash in the bank; the gap between treating a patient and getting paid by an insurer can put real pressure on a clinic's cash flow.
Cover payroll for PTs and PTAs while reimbursements are pending
Purchase or repair modality and exercise equipment
Handle documentation and compliance software costs
Where a physical therapy clinic line of credit does the heavy lifting
Six moments when physical therapy clinic cash flow needs backup — and how a Loot line of credit can help.
Cover payroll while insurance reimbursements are pending
PTs, PTAs and front-desk staff still need to be paid on schedule, even when a batch of claims is still processing. A line of credit can help cover payroll without pulling cash away from equipment or rent.
Invest in modality and exercise equipment
Ultrasound units, e-stim machines, treatment tables and exercise equipment need to be replaced or expanded as a clinic grows. A line of credit can help a clinic add or upgrade equipment without waiting to save up the full amount in cash.
Bridge the gap between visits and reimbursement
A clinic delivers care and bills the insurer, but reimbursement can take weeks or months to land. A line of credit can help smooth that gap so payroll and rent are never the thing waiting on a claim.
Cover documentation and compliance software costs
EMR, billing and documentation software are ongoing costs that keep a clinic compliant and reimbursable. A line of credit can help cover subscription and setup costs without straining the budget for staff or equipment.
Handle referral volume swings
Referral-driven patient volume can swing month to month depending on physician referral patterns and seasonal injury trends. A line of credit can help a clinic keep staff and hours steady through a slower referral stretch.
Open a new treatment room or second location
Adding a treatment room or opening a second location can mean build-out costs, new equipment and additional staff before the new capacity is fully booked. A line of credit can help a clinic expand without draining the cash needed to run its existing location.
How a physical therapy clinic line of credit helps

How a Loot line of credit works for a physical therapy clinic
Say your clinic needs $17,000 for PTA payroll, a modality equipment replacement, and ongoing supply costs while a batch of insurance reimbursements is still processing. With Loot, you can draw $17,000 from your approved line.
Before you confirm, you choose a fixed weekly repayment plan upfront, such as 16, 20, or 24 weeks. You see the total cost before you move forward.
If reimbursements land sooner than expected and you pay the draw off early, there is no prepayment penalty. Paying off early can save up to 50% of remaining fees.
As you repay, your line revolves — the funds become available again as you pay down the draw. Same-day approval is standard, decisions happen in minutes, and once approved, same-day funding is available for a $49 transfer fee.
Requirements for physical therapy clinic financing
To qualify with Loot, your physical therapy clinic needs:
1+ years

None
Checking eligibility is a soft pull, so it does not impact your credit score, approved or not. Loot looks at real business cash flow, not just a credit score.
