Sources of Financing

Accessing the sources of financing your purchase.

There are many sources of financing for pharmacies, including institutions like the Small Business Administration (SBA) and banks, as well as family members or existing pharmacy owners. Larger institutions, such as McKesson, are also important sources of financing.

Traditional lenders — including banks and financial institutions — underwrite each loan to assess the creditworthiness of the borrower. These institutions typically require specific data about the pharmacy in order to perform an analysis of the potential loan. This is their way of ensuring that the prospective borrower will be able to repay the loan.

When McKesson finances an independent pharmacy during ownership transfer, the same rigorous data gathering and analysis is conducted. While McKesson may have some of the financial and credit data in-house, based on its business relationship with the owner, additional information is also required in most cases.
