Mental health practices are growing fast — demand has never been higher. But scaling means hiring licensed therapists, expanding office space, and investing in telehealth technology. Between slow insurance panels and the cost of credentialing new providers — mental health practices need capital to keep pace with demand.
This Is Why You're Here
You have a 6-week waitlist and need to hire 2 licensed therapists. Recruiting, credentialing, and furnishing new offices cost $30K. Revenue from new patients won't hit for 90 days.
You're adding telehealth across your practice — HIPAA-compliant platform, cameras, soundproofing, and staff training total $25K. This is the future of your practice but the investment is now.
Your group practice outgrew its space. A larger suite in a medical building is available — build-out is $60K including therapy rooms, a group room, and reception.
Insurance panels are paying 90 days out and you just onboarded three new therapists who can't bill yet. Payroll is $21K a month for those three alone and you need $45K to cover the ramp before they're generating revenue.
You want to launch an intensive outpatient program for anxiety disorders. Licensing, group room build-out, curriculum development, and marketing cost $38K. Your current space can handle it but the startup costs are all upfront.
We had a 6-week waitlist and needed $30K to hire two therapists and furnish new offices. Basecamp funded us in 48 hours. Those two hires added $22K a month in revenue within 90 days.

Built for Your Business
New therapists can't bill insurance for 60-90 days after hire. That's $21K in salary before a dollar comes back. We fund that gap so you can hire now, not 3 months from now.
HIPAA-compliant platforms, cameras, soundproofing — $15K-$25K to do it right. Telehealth lets you see patients across the state. We fund the tech so you can scale without more office space.
Outgrowing your space means losing patients. A bigger suite with therapy rooms, a group room, and reception costs $40K-$60K. We fund the build-out before the waitlist gets longer.
Getting on insurance panels takes months. Your revenue lags behind your patient demand. Working capital bridges the gap between growing your practice and getting paid for it.

Mental health has a scaling problem nobody talks about. Demand is through the roof — 6-week waitlists are normal. But every new therapist you hire costs $30K upfront. Recruiting, credentialing, furnishing an office, paying salary for 90 days before insurance panels kick in. That's real money. And your waitlist grows another week while you figure out how to pay for it.
Here's what I tell every group practice owner — you're leaving $15K-$22K a month on the table for every therapist you don't hire. We funded a practice in Portland $30K in 48 hours. Two new hires. They added $22K a month within 90 days. Telehealth build-outs, HIPAA-compliant platforms, bigger office space — we fund all of it. Your patients are waiting. Literally. Fill out the app.
