Scaling from one med spa to multiple locations is the biggest growth move in aesthetics — and the most capital-intensive. Between build-outs, equipment packages for each location, hiring, and the marketing to launch in a new market — multi-location operators need strategic capital that supports rapid expansion.
This Is Why You're Here
Location 1 does $80K/month. Location 2 build-out, equipment, and launch capital total $300K. The new market has zero direct competitors within 10 miles.
You're acquiring a competitor's practice — 800 patients, 3 devices, and a fully built-out space for $250K. Integration costs another $30K for rebranding and marketing.
Your 3rd location needs a full device suite — CoolSculpting, Morpheus8, and a diode laser. Equipment total: $280K. Financing all three under one facility saves on rates.
Your landlord at location 1 is raising rent 30% at renewal. A $180K build-out in a better space 2 miles away would cut your rent by $2K/month and give you 800 more square feet. But you need to move in 60 days or sign the overpriced lease.
You just hired a medical director for location 2 but she can't start for 45 days. Payroll, insurance, and credentialing costs are $18K before she sees her first patient — and location 2 is burning $6K/month in overhead while ramping up.
Acquired a competitor's 2-location med spa for $250K through Basecamp's SBA lending network. Closed in 24 days. Combined revenue across all 4 locations hit $320K/month within 6 months of the acquisition.

Built for Your Business
Lease, build-out, equipment, staff, marketing — a second location runs $300K-$700K total. And your bank wants to underwrite it like a startup even though location 1 does $80K/month. We underwrite based on your proven performance.
A competitor closing? Their patient list and equipment are worth $200K-$400K. But the transaction closes in 30 days or it's gone. SBA takes 3-4 months. We structure bridge financing to close fast and refinance into SBA terms after.
Location 2 needs a medical director, 2-3 providers, front desk, and marketing — $30K-$50K/month in new payroll before the patient volume catches up. We fund the 90-day staffing ramp so payroll doesn't drain location 1.
Multi-location means shared EMR, centralized scheduling, unified marketing, and standardized training. That infrastructure costs $20K-$40K to set up. Banks don't fund software and systems. We fund the operational backbone that makes scaling possible.
What You're Up Against
| Challenge | What It Looks Like | Funding Solution | Amount | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Second location buildout ($300K–$700K) | Lease, construction, treatment rooms, reception, and Instagrammable spaces — a second location runs $300K-$700K total. Banks treat it like a startup even though location 1 is profitable. | SBA 7(a) loan underwritten on location 1 performance | $300K–$700K | 3–4 weeks |
| Centralized booking and EMR system | Multi-location practices need unified scheduling, patient records, and marketing platforms. Setup costs $15K-$30K plus $2K-$5K/month in software fees. | Working capital for technology infrastructure | $15K–$35K | 1–3 days |
| Staff duplication costs across locations | Location 2 needs a medical director, 2-3 providers, front desk, and aestheticians. That's $30K-$50K/month in new payroll before patient volume catches up. | Working capital for 90-day staffing ramp | $50K–$150K | 1–3 days |
| Inventory management across multiple locations | Tracking injectable inventory, skincare products, and device consumables across 2-4 locations requires inventory management systems and 20-30% more safety stock. | Line of credit for multi-location inventory | $25K–$75K | Pre-approved, draw as needed |
| Brand consistency marketing across markets | Each location needs local SEO, Google Business Profile optimization, social media presence, and community outreach. Marketing budgets double or triple with expansion. | Working capital for multi-location marketing | $25K–$60K | 1–3 days |

Location 1 proves the model. Location 2 proves you can scale. But scaling a med spa means $300K-$700K for the second spot — lease, build-out, equipment, staff, marketing. Your bank looks at your application and treats it like a startup loan. They don't care that location 1 does $80K a month with a waitlist. They want 2 years of P&L for the new location. That doesn't exist yet. We underwrite location 2 based on location 1's proven performance.
And acquisitions? A competitor closing down is a once-in-5-years opportunity. Their patient list, their equipment, their trained staff — worth $200K-$400K. But the transaction closes in 30 days or the patients scatter. SBA takes 3-4 months. We bridge the acquisition fast and refinance into SBA terms after. 70+ lenders. No hard pull. We've funded $250K competitor acquisitions, $500K new-location build-outs, and $1M+ multi-location expansions. All through our network.
