For Doctors and Owners of Hospitals and Clinics

The money is there. Reaching it is the hard part.

India is in the best decade its healthcare businesses have ever had. Family offices, doctors, lenders and government schemes are all looking for places to put capital into this sector. What stops most Hospitals and Clinics is not a shortage of money. It is that they are not yet in a shape an investor can assess. We fix that, then bring the capital.

Where are you today

Most owners are in one of four places.

01

Not ready for outside capital

Proprietorship, informal books, no valuation.

02

Ready, but no route to investors

Clean numbers, clear need, nobody to call.

03

Need more than money

Capital plus someone to do the work with you.

04

Or thinking about selling

Start three years early.

Where the money is

Capital is looking for Indian healthcare. Six places it comes from.

This is the part most owners never see. There is more than one kind of money available, each with its own appetite, its own speed and its own price. Knowing which one fits your situation is half the job.

Family offices and HNIs

Looking for steady returns from real businesses, and tired of choosing between a fixed deposit and the equity markets. Healthcare cash flow sits neatly in between.

Doctors who invest

Senior clinicians with capital who understand these businesses better than any generalist. They read a clinic the way you do, so they get comfortable faster.

Lenders and NBFCs

Equipment finance, term debt and working capital lines built specifically for healthcare. Cheaper than equity, and you keep every share you own.

Government schemes

Viability gap funding, National Health Mission capital, AB-HIM grants and NABARD long-term loans. Real money, and most owners have never heard of it.

Receivables financiers

Money against verified insurance and scheme claims, so you are not waiting four months to be paid for work you have already done.

Chains and PE platforms

Actively buying single-specialty clinics and small hospitals. If selling is on your mind in the next few years, these are your buyers.

Why it does not reach you

None of these are about clinical ability.

They are about how capital works in India for a business your size, and how rarely anyone sits down to explain it.

The bank says no

Goodwill and patient volume are not collateral. Without property to pledge, a profitable business is often turned down.

The books are not presentable

Cash and personal expenses mixed in, filings behind, a proprietorship structure. Real profits that nobody outside can verify.

Nobody knows what it is worth

No benchmark, no method, no comparable deals to point at. Owners guess high, buyers guess low, and nothing moves.

Everything rides on the house

Whatever funding is available usually needs a personal guarantee. Growing the business means putting the family home behind it.

Capital arrives too late

By the time a sanction comes through, the site is gone, the equipment price has moved, or the doctor you wanted has joined elsewhere.

Debt or equity, nobody says

Term loan, lease, NCD, convertible, equity. Different costs, different consequences. Most owners are never shown the comparison.

Fear of losing control

Stories of outside money taking over practices and dictating how medicine is practised make owners avoid capital altogether.

No one neutral to ask

The CA handles compliance. The banker sells a product. There is rarely anyone whose job is to advise on how to fund growth.

Who we work with

Hospitals up to 100 beds, and Clinics.

Too small for large private equity funds. Underserved by banks, who lend against property rather than cash flow. That gap is where we work.

Hospital
Typical deal
₹5 Cr to ₹40 Cr
Usually
Secured or structured
01Segment one

Hospitals, 20 to 100 beds

Nursing homes and small hospitals. Often family run, often profitable, and carrying problems a clinic never has.

  • Blocked receivables. Insurance and scheme claims can take four months to settle.
  • Adding capacity. Beds, an ICU, a cath lab, a dialysis or diagnostics wing.
  • Building new. A greenfield hospital, or taking over one that is struggling.
  • Government capital. VGF, NHM, AB-HIM and NABARD schemes most owners never hear about.
  • Expensive legacy debt. Borrowing at 16 to 18 percent that can be restructured.
  • Empanelment and NABH. No panel, no footfall. Accreditation opens both.
Clinic
Typical deal
₹50L to ₹10 Cr
Usually
Debt or equipment
02Segment two

Clinics

Single-specialty practices, day-care centres and diagnostics. Dental, eye, dermatology, IVF, dialysis, physiotherapy.

  • Equipment. A laser, imaging unit or chair that pays for itself.
  • A second location. The model works and you want to repeat it.
  • Starting out. You are leaving a corporate hospital to build your own practice.
  • Working capital. Bridging the gap while a new site fills up.
  • Formalising. Moving from proprietorship to a company that can be funded.
  • Selling. To a chain, a platform, or another doctor.
How we work with you

Four paths. You start where you are.

Not everyone needs all four. Some businesses only need the preparation. Some are ready and need the right investor. Some want a partner who does the work alongside them. Some are thinking about the exit.

Path 01

Get investment-ready.

Most Hospitals and Clinics are not fundable as they stand. Not because they lack profit, since many have plenty, but because nothing about them can be verified by an outsider. This is the work that changes that.

  • Readiness diagnostic and an indicative valuation. Where you stand today and exactly what is blocking capital.
  • Entity structuring. Moving from proprietorship to a private limited company, so there is something to invest into.
  • Books and filings. Separating business from personal, bringing GST and tax current, getting to accounts that can be audited.
  • Reporting and MIS. The monthly numbers a serious investor expects to see, running before anyone asks for them.
  • The metrics that matter. Revenue per bed, chair or doctor, collection cycle, case mix, utilisation.
  • Licences and registrations. Clinical establishment, biomedical waste, fire NOC, PCPNDT, AERB, drug licence. For hospitals, also empanelment and NABH readiness.
  • Reducing key-person risk. The single biggest concern for anyone funding a healthcare business.

Once the business can be assessed, the question becomes what kind of money it should take, and from whom. A machine and a new wing do not need the same instrument, and choosing wrong is expensive for years.

  • We define the requirement. How much, for what, and over what period the business can actually service it.
  • We structure it. Debt where debt is right. Equity only where it genuinely fits. Refinancing where you are paying too much already.
  • We prepare the pack. The numbers, the plan and the diligence material an investor will ask for, ready before they ask.
  • We find the right fit. Not just any investor. One whose appetite, ticket size and timeline match your business.
  • You stay in the room. We advise you through the negotiation. It is your business and your decision throughout.

Path 03

Grow with us.

Our deepest engagement, and the one where our interests are most directly tied to yours. We only do well if your business genuinely grows.

Some businesses do not just need money. They need someone to actually do the work. Fix the billing, build patient acquisition, renegotiate procurement, put systems in. We bring both the capital and that work, over 18 to 24 months.

  • We invest capital into marketing, systems and operational upgrades. Not a loan you service out of existing income.
  • We do the operational work. Patient acquisition, billing and collections, procurement, hiring support, reporting.
  • We take equity in the business, so we carry the risk with you rather than charging a fee regardless of outcome.
  • Our capital comes back from growth. Repaid out of the increase we help create, not out of what the business already earns today.
  • You keep running the practice. Clinical decisions, patient care and clinical hiring stay entirely with you.

One line we hold to

We grow a practice by bringing it more patients and running it better. Never by asking you to do more to each patient. Clinical judgement is yours, and revenue is never a reason to change it.

Path 04

M&A.

Chains and PE-backed platforms are buying single-specialty clinics and small hospitals across India. Owners who prepare early get better terms than those who react late.

A sale is won or lost in the two or three years before it happens. The businesses that get the best price are the ones that were run properly long before anyone made an offer.

  • Exit readiness. Started two to three years ahead. Clean audited accounts, current licences, reduced key-person risk, documented systems.
  • Valuation and positioning. What the business is worth, why, and how to present it so a buyer sees the same thing.
  • Finding the right buyer. Chains, platforms, individual clinicians. Different buyers value different things and pay differently.
  • Running the process. Information memorandum, data room, buyer conversations, negotiation and close.
  • Partial exits and succession. Selling a stake and staying on, bringing in a partner, or handing over to the next generation.
  • Buy side too. If you are the one growing by acquisition, we work the other direction.

Straight answers.

Will I lose control of my practice?+

For readiness work and most debt funding, no. You keep full ownership and control. If you take equity or enter a growth partnership, you take on a partner, but clinical decisions, patient care and clinical hiring remain yours. We put that in writing rather than leaving it to trust.

My books are informal and a lot runs on cash. Is that a dealbreaker?+

No. It is the most common starting point, and it is exactly what the readiness path is for. It does take time to fix properly. Expect a few months of cleaning up and then a period of clean trading before investors are comfortable. Starting earlier is always cheaper than starting late.

I want to start a new clinic or hospital. Is that something you fund?+

Yes, and it is a different conversation from funding an existing business. A new build has no track record, so it is usually equity or a growth partnership rather than debt. What matters most is the clinician behind it, the location, and how quickly patients are likely to follow.

Do I have to give a personal guarantee?+

It depends on the instrument. Some lenders will require one. Equipment leasing and certain structures avoid it or limit it considerably, and equity does not involve one at all. We will tell you plainly, for each option, what you are putting at risk personally.

My hospital has crores stuck in insurance claims. Can you help with that?+

Yes. Claims receivables financing is one of the more useful products for hospitals, and one of the least known. Funding is arranged against verified claim invoices and clears as the claims are paid. We also look at whether the claims process itself can be improved, since a better settlement ratio is worth more than the financing.

How much does the readiness work cost?+

A modest fixed fee, charged in stages as the work progresses, so you are not committing to everything upfront. If a funding transaction later closes, there is a success fee on that. You will know both numbers before you commit to anything.

What if I go through the readiness work and still do not raise?+

That can happen, and we will tell you early if we think it is likely rather than take fees for work that will not lead anywhere. Even without a raise, the structuring, clean books and reporting are permanent improvements. They make the business more valuable, easier to sell, and easier to fund later.

Do you only work in the big cities?+

No. A good deal of the opportunity is outside the metros, where demand is growing fastest and capital is hardest to find. What matters is the quality of the business, not the postcode.
