Quick answer: Yes — it’s free for healthcare businesses
Yes — our matchmaking service is free for healthcare organisations. That means:
- You pay nothing to use our website or to submit an enquiry.
- There’s no obligation to accept any offer you receive from a lender or broker.
- Filling in the enquiry does not, by itself, affect your business credit score.
What may incur costs later: lenders or brokers you choose to proceed with may charge arrangement fees, interest, broker fees or valuation costs — these are set and disclosed by the lender/broker before you agree any finance.

How UK Business Loans works for healthcare businesses
We are an introducer — we do not lend money and we do not provide regulated financial advice. Our role is to connect healthcare businesses with lenders and brokers who specialise in the sector so you can compare options quickly.
The process in four simple steps
- Complete a short enquiry form — it takes around 2 minutes and asks for business basics, the amount you need and the purpose.
- We match you — with lenders and brokers experienced in healthcare: care homes, clinics, dental practices, private hospitals, and equipment suppliers.
- Receive contact and quotes — matched brokers or lenders will contact you, typically within hours, to discuss options and provide indicative quotes.
- Compare and decide — you choose whether to progress to full application. There’s no obligation to accept any quote.
Typical healthcare funding types we can help you find include equipment finance, business loans, asset finance, invoice finance, commercial mortgages and sustainability/energy upgrade funding.

Is it really free? Who pays?
Short answer: Yes. UK Business Loans does not charge healthcare businesses to use our service. We operate a lead-introduction model:
- Submitting your enquiry is free. We will use the details you provide to match you with suitable lenders or brokers.
- We earn revenue from some partners when they receive a completed enquiry that meets their commercial criteria — this is how we fund the service. You are under no obligation to accept any offer or pay us directly.
- “Completed enquiry” means you (a director or authorised contact) have submitted your details and the lead has been passed to a partner who then follows up.
Any fees, interest rates or charges for a specific product are set by the lender or broker and will be disclosed by them in their offer. We encourage you to ask for full cost breakdowns (including APR, arrangement fees or broker fees) before committing.
What using our service means for your credit score & privacy
Will submitting an enquiry affect my credit score?
No. Completing the initial enquiry is a soft introduction and does not perform a credit search. Lenders or brokers may carry out credit checks later if you formally apply — these may be soft or hard checks depending on the provider and product. You will be told if a hard search is required before it happens.
How we handle your data
We treat your information securely. Your details are only shared with selected lenders and brokers relevant to your enquiry. We follow data protection best practice and GDPR obligations; see our Privacy Policy for full details.
Typical finance options for healthcare organisations
We connect healthcare businesses with lenders/brokers who can provide a variety of funding solutions. Below are common options and indicative ranges (subject to provider):
- Equipment & medical device finance (leasing, hire purchase) — for imaging, dental chairs, sterilisation kits. Indicative: £10,000–£2m.
- Business loans (secured & unsecured) — working capital, expansion. Indicative: £10,000–£3m.
- Asset finance — buy or refinance expensive equipment or vehicles.
- Invoice finance — release cash tied up in invoices or NHS contracts.
- Commercial mortgages & property finance — buy, refinance or refurbish clinics or care homes; acquisition finance for care homes.
- Sustainability / green loans — energy efficiency upgrades for care homes (solar PV, heat pumps, EV chargers).
Amounts are indicative; matched providers will confirm eligibility and exact ranges.
Get matched with lenders who specialise in healthcare finance
Who can apply? Eligibility & documents you’ll typically need
- Business types: limited companies (Ltd), LLPs and incorporated healthcare groups. (We do not provide finance for sole traders or certain professional-only products.)
