Commercial loans help Australian healthcare professionals buy their practice premises, invest in commercial property and fund working capital, often on terms other businesses cannot access. Lenders treat medical incomes as stable and low risk, and how your income is presented is the critical piece in unlocking that treatment. MedX Finance compares 45+ lenders, including specialist and non-bank lenders who understand how medical practices are valued.

What can medical professionals use a commercial loan for?

The big three are practice premises (buying the rooms you work from), commercial investment property, and working capital that bridges Medicare payment cycles, covers payroll or funds growth. Commercial lending also covers construction and renovation projects, debt refinancing and equipment purchases.

One important distinction: if you are buying the practice itself, the goodwill, the acquisition, the fitout, that is practice finance and it has its own page, its own policies and up to 100% goodwill lending for eligible practitioners.

How much deposit do I need for commercial property?

Often less than you would expect. Eligible practitioners buying premises for their own practice can access lending up to 100% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, without mortgage insurance.

Investment purchases typically require more equity, and lenders can impose stricter covenants on projects they consider higher risk. Structuring the scenario so it lands with the right lender, presented the right way, is where applications are won.

Why do healthcare professionals get better commercial terms?

Commercial loans require a different approach to home loans: more structures, stricter underwriting, and risk assessments that reward preparation. Medical professionals start ahead because lenders compete for them, and a specialist turns that advantage into terms.

MedX Finance has four specialists recognised in Australia's Elite Broker Top 25 for commercial lending, holding positions 2, 3, 4 and 5 nationally in working capital finance, with over 90 years of combined experience exclusively in medical finance. Michael Fazzolari is the NSW State Winner of the Commercial and Equipment Finance Broker Award at the MFAA Excellence Awards 2026.

The rankings are validation; the outcomes we care about are the GP who opened their first clinic and the vet hospital that expanded emergency services.

Three jobs a commercial loan does

Practice premises. Buy the rooms you already work from. Rent becomes equity, and eligible practitioners can minimise the deposit.
Commercial investment. A commercial property held for income and growth, assessed on the property and your position together.
Working capital. Smooths the gap between doing the work and being paid for it: payroll, inventory, BAS, growth.
General information only, not financial advice. Structures, deposits and terms depend on your circumstances and lender criteria.

From first conversation to settlement

Plenty of our clients talk to us long before a loan exists: weighing a practice purchase, planning a fitout, or working out what their career unlocks. That early thinking costs nothing and is some of the most valuable work we do. And when you are ready to move, it runs like this:
1. Today: talk to a specialist. 15 minutes on the property or capital need and your practice position. No credit check, no cost.
2. Within 48 hours: your lending strategy. Which lenders fit the scenario, the structure they will expect, and what it costs.
3. Application to approval. We package, submit and chase. Timing depends on the lender and the deal, and you will always know where things stand.
4. Approval to settlement. We coordinate with your solicitor, accountant and the lender through to settlement, and stay your specialist as the practice grows.

Frequently asked questions

What is a commercial loan and what can I use it for?

A commercial loan is finance for business purposes rather than personal use: property purchase, business expansion, working capital, equipment, refinancing or construction. Terms and criteria differ from personal lending, which is why the structure matters as much as the rate.

Can I buy my practice premises with no deposit?

Many practitioners can access a loan equivalent to 100% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower. Whether a deposit is required depends on your circumstances and whether the property will be your own practice premises.

Can I use my super fund to buy my practice premises?

Yes, SMSF loans are available to healthcare professionals for exactly this, though a deposit is required and fewer lenders operate in the space. It is advice-adjacent territory, so start with SMSF loans for medical professionals and speak with your accountant or adviser.

Can I borrow the GST and purchase costs?

Borrowing to cover GST and purchase costs can be arranged, sometimes as a separate shorter-term facility given GST is normally claimed back in the next BAS. Your accountant should confirm the treatment for your situation.

Can I have an offset account with a commercial loan?

It is not common; commercial products carry different functionality to residential loans. Some exceptions exist with specific lenders, and we weigh the feature trade-offs when comparing options for you.

Does using MedX Finance cost me anything?

No. We are paid by the lender when your loan settles, and we are transparent about those arrangements. Lender fees such as application, legal and valuation costs vary, and we negotiate them on your behalf.

Own the rooms, fund the growth.

Fifteen minutes with a specialist. No cost, no credit check, no obligation. Just your practice, your numbers and what they unlock.

We'll contact you within the hour, 8am to 8pm, seven days a week (AEST).
