Healthcare MCA in Texas — funders, SBA vs MCA math, practice profiles.

Texas healthcare market context

Texas HB 700 (effective September 2025; often miscited as SB 1280, which died) requires standardized cost disclosure on sales-based financing under $1M and provider/broker registration with the OCCC by December 31, 2026 — but no APR-equivalent mandate. Healthcare-focused funders had to comply. Texas healthcare has the strongest fundamentals of any non-coastal state — population growth + low state taxes + business-friendly climate. AR cycles run 45-75 days typically. Specialty practices serving commercial-insurance-heavy patient base have shorter DSO than Medicaid-heavy practices. Practice sizes we see most often: solo practitioners ($25K-$100K MCA via SBA), group practices ($100K-$500K), multi-location specialty groups ($500K-$2M+ from specialty medical lenders or SBA 504).

Top funders for Texas healthcare practices

Texas cities and healthcare markets

• Dallas / Fort Worth — Largest TX healthcare market. Multi-specialty groups, hospital-affiliated practices, dental specialty. Deal sizes $100K-$1M common.
• Houston — World-class medical center; specialty referral practices serving regional patient base. Larger deal sizes; mixed payer mix.
• Austin — Tech-employer commercial insurance base supports cash-pay specialty practices (cosmetic, concierge). Square Capital / Toast Capital occasionally fit cosmetic practices.
• San Antonio — Military and regional health system referrals. Mixed payer mix; mid-size MCA volume.

The funding math, in Texas terms

A 5-provider primary care group in DFW doing $400K/month in revenue with 70% commercial, 25% Medicare, 5% private pay needs $200K to acquire a smaller practice and integrate operations. - SBA 7(a) over 10 years: $200K at prime + 2.5-4%, ~$2,400/mo. Acquisition financing is exactly what SBA 7(a) is designed for. - Specialty medical lender (e.g., Lendeavor, Bankers Healthcare Group): $200K term loan at competitive rates, faster than SBA. Specifically designed for practice acquisitions. - $200K MCA at 1.26 factor over 12 months: $252K payback, ~$690/day ACH. Brutal during integration period. Best fit: SBA 7(a) for true practice acquisition. Specialty medical lender if speed matters. MCA almost never fits acquisition use case.
