Upgrade your premises without compromising your cashflow
A clean, modern, and fully equipped pharmacy does far more than create a good first impression – it plays a major role in patient confidence, staff morale, and business performance. But refurbishing a pharmacy, whether it’s a full redesign or a simple refresh, can be costly. Without a clear financing strategy, expenses can quickly spiral or drain essential cash reserves.
Why a refurbishment is more than just a facelift
Upgrading your pharmacy is an investment – in your brand, your patients, and your long-term success. Whether it’s reconfiguring the layout for better flow, modernising consultation rooms, or installing updated dispensing technology, every decision impacts how customers engage with your service and how efficiently your team can work.
With projects often costing tens of thousands of pounds, few pharmacy owners can fund the work upfront. That’s where smart financing becomes essential.
What are your options for financing a refurbishment?
Depending on the scale of the project and your financial situation, here are several popular options:
🔹 Unsecured Business Loans – Great for smaller upgrades or cosmetic improvements
🔹 Asset Finance – Ideal for new equipment like dispensing robots, EPOS systems, or refrigeration units
🔹 Refinancing Existing Debt – Streamline your current commitments to free up cash
🔹 Practice Development Loans – Tailored to larger-scale refits or expansion projects
🔹 Cashflow Loans – Short-term support to manage operational costs during works
