[Lake Worth, Florida, November 26, 2018] – Pharmacy Development Services (PDS) has selected HealthGrowth Capital as its preferred lender for its members seeking working capital lines of credit.

HealthGrowth Capital, a direct lender to healthcare businesses, recently introduced its PharmLine™ revolving line of credit designed specifically for pharmacy entrepreneurs. “PDS believes independent pharmacies are the best place for patients to get the care they need, and therefore we believe independents deserve to thrive. This is why PDS is dedicated to helping pharmacy owners learn the skills and strategies they need to be successful and profitable,” said Jeff Philipp, Chief Executive Officer of PDS. “Pharmacy is a cash-challenged business.  Our members are sometimes faced with reimbursement delays and charge backs that are out of their control and are often unpredictable. HealthGrowth Capital’s PharmLine™ product provides pharmacy owners with financial flexibility and liquidity when they need it.”

“PDS has been extraordinarily effective in helping take pharmacies to the next level of profitability and success,” said HealthGrowth Capital CEO Karl Kipke. “We created PharmLine™ revolving lines of credit because nearly every community pharmacy needs access to working capital in order to bridge reimbursement gaps or for growth capital. PharmLine™ provides pharmacy owners with up to $1 million of credit in as little as two-weeks.”

About Pharmacy Development Services (PDS)
PDS works directly with owners and their staff to teach them to build stronger businesses, provide better patient service, become more effective leaders, and increase profits. By doing so, independent pharmacies become resistant to the industry forces working against them and have the freedom to achieve their aspirations. Unlike drug distributors, buying groups and trade associations, PDS is 100% focused on equipping independent pharmacy owners with the skills they need to make their life better and their business more valuable.

Austin, Texas, October 17, 2018 – HealthGrowth Capital and Lendistry are proud to introduce the first revolving line of credit designed for independent pharmacies – the PharmLine™. Developed by pharmacy experts for pharmacy owners, PharmLine™ provides access to as much as $1 million to meet the challenges and opportunities pharmacy entrepreneurs face every day.

“Many banks stopped offering lines of credit to healthcare businesses after the financial crisis 10-years ago,” Kipke added. “The professionals at Lendistry are innovative, smart and aggressive and made the perfect partners to help us create this product. PharmLine™ is quick and easy to obtain so pharmacy owners can focus on growing their businesses and stop worrying about being undercapitalized.”

PharmLine™ is a revolving line of credit that is designed to give pharmacy owners access to working capital within 10-days of applying. PharmLine™ is also available to businesses with SBA or other senior, secured debt. Now, DIR fees, unexpected reimbursement delays or new growth opportunities are easy to address with a trusted industry player that understands the pharmacy industry.

“Lendistry was established to offer financing alternatives to quality borrowers that are underserved by traditional lenders,” said Everett Sands, Chief Executive Officer of California-based Lendistry. “Our market data indicates 80% of the independent pharmacy owners in the US need additional working capital and PharmLine™ meets that need. Given HealthGrowth Capital’s expertise in community pharmacy-lending, we are excited to bring this transcendent product to this $80 billion industry.”
