Medical supply distribution requires FDA compliance, cold chain for certain products, and hospitals that demand perfect fill rates but pay in 60-90 days. Between regulatory inventory requirements, GPO pricing pressures, and the working capital to maintain deep stock — medical distributors need patient, reliable capital.
This Is Why You're Here
A hospital system awarded you a supply contract — $50K/month in recurring orders. Initial stocking and compliance setup cost $120K. They pay net-60 through their GPO.
A flu season surge doubled demand for PPE and diagnostic supplies. You need $80K in emergency inventory. Manufacturers want prepayment during shortage conditions.
FDA requires a recall-ready inventory tracking system. Implementation costs $35K including software, barcode infrastructure, and training.
A surgery center chain wants you to supply sterile instruments and disposables across 8 locations — $15K/month recurring. Initial product stocking and cold chain setup cost $65K. They pay through their GPO on net-75.
Your manufacturer just discontinued a high-demand wound care line. The replacement product requires new certifications and $40K in initial inventory. Your existing customers need supply continuity in 30 days or they'll switch distributors.
A hospital system awarded us a $50K/month supply contract but needed $120K upfront for stocking and compliance setup. Basecamp funded the full amount in 3 days. That contract has been running for 14 months now.

Built for Your Business
You won a hospital supply contract worth $50K/month. But they pay through their GPO on net-60 — sometimes net-90. That's $100K-$150K in delivered product before you see your first check. We bridge that gap in 48 hours.
Flu season doubles PPE demand overnight. Manufacturers switch to prepayment during shortages. You need $80K in emergency inventory right now — not after a 2-week bank review. We fund surge purchasing same-day.
A recall-ready tracking system costs $35K — software, barcoding, training. Without it, you lose your distribution license. This isn't optional spending. It's the cost of staying in business. We fund compliance upgrades fast.
Landing a hospital contract costs $120K in initial product stocking and compliance setup. The $50K/month recurring revenue is incredible. But every dollar of setup cost hits before the first order ships. We fund the launch so you capture the contract.

Medical supply distribution has the best recurring revenue in wholesale. Once a hospital locks you in, that contract runs for years. But the entry cost is brutal. $120K in stocking and compliance setup before you ship a single box of gloves. And the hospital pays net-60 through their GPO. That means $170K out the door before the first check arrives. Banks see healthcare receivables and get nervous about the payment cycle. We see a 3-year contract with a 97% renewal rate.
And then there's the surge problem. Flu season hits, PPE demand doubles overnight, and manufacturers switch to prepayment. You need $80K in product right now. Not next week. We've funded medical supply distributors from $20K inventory orders to $1M contract setups. 60-second application, no hard pull, and our lenders actually understand what a GPO is.
