IV therapy is one of the fastest-growing wellness services — low startup costs, high margins, and growing consumer demand. Between IV supplies, medical director agreements, and the marketing to build a client base in a new category — IV therapy businesses need capital to scale quickly.
Larger lines available when revenue, cash flow, and story qualify.
This Is Why You're Here
You're launching an IV therapy bar inside your existing med spa. Supplies, furniture, marketing, and 3 months of IV-specific inventory cost $25K. Each drip generates $150-$400.
A corporate client wants weekly IV wellness sessions for 50 employees. Setup, supplies, and a mobile IV team cost $15K upfront. The contract is $8K/month.
Your IV compounding costs are eating margins. A membership model would smooth revenue but requires $10K in marketing and a booking platform upgrade.
NAD+ infusions are the hottest add-on in your market — $500-$1,000 per session. But NAD+ costs $300-$600 per vial wholesale. You need $18K in NAD+ inventory to launch the program and your supplier doesn't do net-30.
A music festival 2 hours away wants an on-site IV hydration tent for 3 days. You need $12K for a mobile setup, extra staff, and 200 IV bags. The event will expose your brand to 15,000 attendees and you'll clear $25K in drip revenue.
Launched our IV drip bar inside our existing med spa with $28K from Basecamp — supplies, furniture, and a marketing blitz. We hit $18K/month in IV revenue within 60 days. Best ROI of any service we've added.

Built for Your Business
IV vitamins and minerals expire. You can't stockpile 6 months of glutathione and NAD+. But you need enough on hand to handle walk-ins and group bookings. We fund rolling inventory so you never turn away a drip.
Mobile IV services need outfitted vans — $40K-$60K each with medical equipment, supplies, and branding. Banks don't finance mobile medical vehicles. We do, because mobile is where the margins are.
Medical director agreements, state licensing, pharmacy relationships, liability coverage — $10K-$20K before you open. Banks want revenue history from a business that doesn't exist yet. We fund launch costs based on your plan and deposits.
A corporate wellness event books 30 drips in one day. That's $6K in supplies you need to order this week. Your regular supply order doesn't cover it. We fund surge inventory so you never cap your bookings.
Bobby's Take
Most IV therapy practice owners learn quickly that bank lenders evaluate them like consumer borrowers — personal FICO first, practice cash flow second. The lenders who actually fund IV therapy don't start with FICO. They start with your $200-per-bag ASPs, wellness-membership recurring revenue, and mobile-and-clinic hybrid mix. The difference is whether your file gets evaluated as a small business or as a credit-card application. Here's how to position your transaction so the right specialists see it first.
Three things determine whether an IV therapy transaction closes: weekly drip volume, your wellness-membership conversion rate, and supply-cost ratio per treatment. Not your personal FICO. Not whether you have years of medical-practice history. Specialist IV therapy lenders care about whether your weekly drip revenue supports a $1,000-$2,000/month payment — and whether your membership conversion rate signals a recurring base rather than one-off concierge bookings.
The biggest mistake IV therapy operators make: applying with mobile-IV revenue mixed in with clinic-based revenue, with no breakdown by channel. The lender sees blended deposits and underwrites to the lower-margin channel. The fix: separate mobile, clinic-walk-in, and membership revenue on the file. Specialist IV therapy lenders price each channel correctly. Generalist lenders treat it all as one bucket and assume the lowest margin applies.
recurring drip revenue lost on delayed expansion
Where this gets interesting at scale: an IV therapy practice adding drip rooms or expanding mobile capacity doesn't need ONE loan. They need equipment financing for the IV chairs and supplies + a working capital line for product inventory and concierge-booking marketing + sometimes a SBA microloan for a mobile-van fit-out. Three products, three lenders, one application — that's how single-room IV therapy practices scale into multi-room wellness clinics or hybrid mobile-and-clinic operations.
The IV therapy operators who scale fastest aren't the ones who waited for membership numbers to be perfect. They're the ones who had drip-room capacity and mobile-van fit-out ready when local demand hit a tipping point. Every quarter you delay opening a second drip room or launching a mobile arm is $8,000-$18,000 in monthly recurring drip revenue. Run the numbers in 60 seconds — see what 70+ specialist lenders will offer your IV therapy practice this week.
💡Bottom line:
IV therapy practices get priced like medical equipment when they're really retail wellness. Separate mobile, clinic, and membership revenue on the file — that's how a specialist prices each channel correctly.

What You're Up Against
| Challenge | What It Looks Like | Funding Solution | Amount | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin and medication inventory costs | NAD+ costs $300-$600 per vial wholesale. Glutathione, B12, and mineral blends add up fast. A full IV menu requires $10K-$25K in inventory on hand. | Line of credit for rolling inventory purchases | $10K–$30K | Pre-approved, draw as needed |
| Medical director compliance requirements | State regulations require a medical director agreement ($2K-$5K/month), pharmacy relationships, and liability coverage — $15K-$25K before treating your first patient. | Working capital for compliance and licensing setup | $15K–$30K | 1–3 days |
| Mobile IV van buildout ($40K–$60K) | Mobile IV services need outfitted vans with medical equipment, refrigeration, supplies, and branding. Banks don't finance mobile medical vehicles. | Equipment financing for mobile IV van buildout | $40K–$65K | 3–7 days |
| Event and festival season pre-stocking | Music festivals, corporate wellness events, and group bookings spike demand 3-5x overnight. You need $10K-$20K in surge inventory and extra nursing staff. | Working capital for event pre-stocking | $10K–$25K | 1–3 days |
| Nursing staff scaling for volume | Each IV nurse handles 6-8 drips per shift. Scaling from 15 to 40 drips/day means hiring 3-4 additional RNs at $35-$50/hour plus onboarding costs. | Working capital for staffing ramp-up | $20K–$50K | 1–3 days |

IV therapy has some of the best margins in wellness. A $150 bag of saline, vitamins, and minerals sells for $300-$400 per drip. That's 70%+ margins all day. But launching a drip bar costs more than people think. Medical director agreement, state licensing, pharmacy relationships, treatment chairs, supplies, marketing — you're looking at $25K-$50K before the first IV line goes in. And banks see 'IV therapy' and have no idea what to do with it.
Here's the thing. IV therapy is a volume game. You need walk-ins, corporate wellness contracts, group bookings, and mobile services to max out your chairs. A corporate event books 30 drips and you need $6K in supplies this week. A mobile van costs $50K to outfit. We fund the launch, the inventory, and the expansion. 70+ lenders who actually understand wellness businesses. No hard pull. Most drip bar owners hear back same day.
