Healthcare Banking FAQs

  • As an existing BMO customer, you can add banking solutions for your practice by opening a business deposit account at BMO and adding on other options like a loan. Your business deposit account(s) will remain separate from personal deposit accounts you may already have with us. A business deposit account can make it easier for you to manage business finances. Contact a business banker to open a business banking account.

  • You can apply for a healthcare practice loan by contacting a business banker. Learn more about business lending and loans at BMO to find the right lending solution for your practice.

  • BMO has a team of experts that works with medical, dental, optometry, and veterinary professionals. If you don’t see your industry included here, get in touch with a business banker to learn more.

  • The cost for starting a healthcare practice varies according to industry and the specifics of the business (for example, starting a practice from the ground up or acquiring an existing business). If you’d like to discuss your options, get in touch with a business banker.

  • The decision to buy or lease equipment or other expenditures for your practice will depend on your situation. Generally, leasing requires a lower upfront cost but may prove to technically be more expensive in the long run. On the other hand, purchasing equipment often requires more money up front but may prove to be less expensive over time. Connect with a business banker to discuss your options.

  • You can use our Business Loan Calculator to calculate the hypothetical cost of getting a business loan for your healthcare practice.
