Funding for Pharmacies
Daily script volume gives a pharmacy steady, predictable deposits, and a line of credit smooths the wholesaler-bill-versus-reimbursement timing that defines independent pharmacy.
An independent pharmacy fills prescriptions all day and then waits to be made whole. The wholesaler invoice comes due on schedule, every couple of weeks, regardless of when the PBM reimbursements land — and the margins on those reimbursements leave little room for timing surprises. Meanwhile the front of the store, deliveries, and automation are where independents win against the chains, and all of it takes capital. Banks rarely understand the reimbursement maze. Broadway funds on what your account actually shows: one short form, three months of bank statements, soft credit pull, same-day decision, funding in as little as 24 hours.
The challenge
Inventory-heavy shelves meet thin reimbursement margins: the wholesaler's bill arrives on a fixed schedule while PBM reimbursements arrive on theirs, and the spread in between is your cash flow.

Reimbursements lag behind my wholesaler bills — what's the right structure for that?
A business line of credit, because the problem is recurring timing, not a one-time hole. Draw to cover the wholesaler invoice, repay when reimbursements post, pay interest only on what you drew — and the line resets for the next cycle. That is cheaper than repeatedly taking lump-sum advances for a gap you can predict. If a one-time crunch needs covering fast, an advance funds in as little as 24 hours. We will tell you plainly which fits.
Can I get funding to buy another pharmacy or its prescription files?
Yes. A file buy or full acquisition comes with documented script volume — revenue history an underwriter can verify — which makes it a strong term-loan candidate, up to $5M on 3, 5, or 7-year terms with the best rates for good credit. File purchases in particular convert directly into revenue at your existing counter with little added overhead. Bring the seller's script data and your statements; we broker across 25+ funders and will shop the deal.
Margins on reimbursements are thin — does that count against my application?
Underwriters who fund pharmacies know the margin picture and read it in context: high, steady deposit volume and demand that does not swing with the economy. Approval keys on three months of bank statements, and a pharmacy's deposits are among the most consistent in retail. Thin margins do make remittance sizing matter, which is why structure counts — a line of credit drawn as needed beats an oversized advance. Soft credit pull, so applying costs nothing.
