Pharmacy Funding

There are over 27,000 pharmacies in the United States, dispensing over 4.6 million prescriptions in 2021. Keep on top of industry changes and compound your independent pharmacy’s success with up to $500,000 in funding from Greenbox Capital® in as little as 24 hours.

Pharmacy Funding You Can Trust

Traditional lenders often consider independent pharmacies to be “low risk” thanks to healthy profit margins, high revenue, and the stability of operating a needs-based service that is less dependent on disposable income. While you may be able to get the pharmacy funding you need from a traditional lender like a bank or the SBA, the application process can take months and approval is never guaranteed. Opportunities to grow or expand your pharmacy can easily vanish while you wait.

With a streamlined online application and flexible approval requirements, Greenbox Capital® can approve more pharmacy funding than traditional lenders—and we can approve your pharmacy funding faster, with funds deposited in as little as 24 hours. With several pharmacy funding options from as low as $3,000 up to $500,000, Greenbox Capital can help grow pharmacies in all specialties, including retail pharmacies, compounding pharmacies, and all other specialties.

Pharmacy Funding Rates

Pharmacy rates depend on the type of alternative small business funding you receive. Most pharmacy funding options use a factor rate instead of a traditional interest rate. Factor rates are simple decimal figures that show how much “extra” you will owe on the original amount of the loan. Your factor rate is determined based on your risk assessment, so the stronger your pharmacy’s financial history, the lower your rate should be.

Pharmacy Funding Solutions

Our friendly, expert Funding Advisors will work with you to determine which funding option will help you achieve your goals without compromising your pharmacy’s cash flow.

Merchant Cash Advance

You get working capital when you need it. We’ll receive a percentage of your daily or weekly credit card sales until the advance is repaid.

Invoice Factoring

Sell us your pending invoices in exchange for the net amount in cash. You’ll receive the balance of the invoices’ value when we receive payment (minus our fee).

Collateral Loan

A secured loan that uses commercial real estate to reduce risk. Because the loan is secured, you may be approved for larger loan amounts with lower rates and fees.

Business Line of Credit

Borrow as much or as little as you need without the obligation of a fixed term loan. Draw and repay as you go, and only ever pay interest on the amount you've borrowed.

Pharmacy Funding Q&A

I am an independent pharmacy needing to expand my lab. Should I get alternative pharmacy funding for this project?

How do I get funding for a pharmacy?

You can get funding for a pharmacy from traditional lenders like the SBA or a bank, as well as from alternative lenders like Greenbox Capital. Alternative lenders have more flexible approval requirements that consider the overall health and potential of your business. Contact one of our Funding Advisors to learn more.

My inventory is getting low and I need to restock. What kind of loan do you suggest?

We have several funding options that could work for you. To identify and select the right loan, please contact one of our knowledgeable Funding Advisors.

Why should I consider an alternative lender for my pharmacy funding?

Traditional lenders can take weeks or months to review and approve your loan application, and most applicants are rejected.

We can provide you with the funds you need to cover project expenses, operating costs, supplies, and more, often in less than 24 hours.
