News and client stories
the LATEST NEWS from medpro finance
We’ve been busy at Medpro Finance. These are just a few things we’ve been up to lately as we continue to offer tailored, flexible finance for medical professionals. Please also take a look at our client stories below, to see how we’ve helped doctors, dentists, pharmacists and other professionals with business loans, rental equipment finance, practice fit-outs and more - and take a look at our client testimonials.
Buying a Pharmacy
Whether you’re looking to purchase a pharmacy or have an opportunity to buy into the pharmacy you’re working in, understanding how lenders approach pharmacy finance will make the process of obtaining a loan easier and less daunting.
Our experienced team has been helping doctors, pharmacists and other health practitioners seize opportunities with confidence for over 25 years. In the latest issue of The Pharmacy Times, we explain why we deliver fast, flexible lending solutions for forward-thinking medical professionals.
ProLENDING transforms to Medpro Finance
Over the many years of servicing the medical sector, we have refined our value proposition by transitioning from broker to specialist lender.
To mark this new service offering, ProLENDING has now become Medpro Finance - providing tailored solutions to complement, or as an alternative to, traditional bank lending. Filling a niche in the highly specialised medical finance market, Medpro is all about tailored, innovative, fast financial solutions.
With Borrow, Invest and Refer as the three main pillars of the business, Medpro is focused on helping clients borrow to grow their business and invest to increase their personal wealth. We will work with our clients’ trusted business partners, such as finance brokers and accountants where required. By developing excellent client relationships, we truly get to know our clients and their business, ensuring transactions that are optimally structured and managed.
We are excited to have the team at Aesthetic Medical Practitioner Magazine introduce our new brand to the cosmetic and broader medical industry in this article.
ASDA Conference, Noosa
Medpro Finance was proud to support this year’s Australian Society of Dental Anaesthesiology (ASDA) conference which was held from 31 May to 2 June at the fabulous Peppers resort in Noosa. It’s a great chance for dentists to hone their skills, learn about new techniques and network with other dental professionals from around the country.
Those who know our director Ross Andrews, will know he’s never shy of a word! And he was there to make sure attendees had some fun, and to speak about how Medpro can help dentists, doctors and other medical professionals build business and personal wealth. Ross explained how some of our lending and investment products work, including business loans, practice purchase loans and equipment rental finance.
A whiteboard, open conversation and intelligent questions provided the perfect opportunity to share knowledge and really understand how Medpro can help. We’re already looking forward to next year’s conference, 29 May to 31 May at the swanky Sheraton Mirage Resort & Spa on the Gold Coast.
Here are some photos from the weekend in sunny (but colder than we expected) Queensland.
VIVID Festival Sydney
And it’s a wrap! The 11th annual VIVID Sydney was as vibrant as ever, illuminating Sydney Harbour and surrounds with a sterling line-up of art, music, ideas and of course, those amazing light shows.
It was lights, camera, action too at one of VIVID’s most popular installations this year. Pixar: 30 Years of Art and Animation projected images from some of the most beloved kids’ films in the Argyle Cut tunnel in the Rocks, with behind-the-scenes-clips and a sneak-peek from the upcoming Toy Story 4.
Other highlights this year included a giant, glowing Bee Hotel in the Royal Botanic Gardens, a grand display celebrating the history and magic of Luna Park, and Specularity, an installation of mirrored pillars at Bennelong Point that was described as a “futuristic Stonehenge”. Then of course there was City Sparkle, with 62 pillars of light from harbour landmarks and rooftops illuminating the harbour’s edge, and saturating 13 facades in brilliant colour.
Our hardworking Medpro staff took time out to celebrate FY2019 on Sydney Harbour with a unique “on the water” perspective of all thing VIVID. Here are some of our youngest Medpro supporters enjoying a spectacular view of Vivid from the water. To discover more of vivid, take a look at the festival images here: #vividsydney.
our clients share their stories
We’ve been financing medical professionals since 2010 through our previous company – ProLENDING, and we’ve helped some amazing clients. These doctors are proud to share their professional and personal stories in these articles.
Life in the fast lane
From cosmetic medicine to race car driving, Dr Mary Dingley is deft at switching gears to deliver precision outcomes both in the clinic and on the track.
You know Dr Mary Dingley as an esteemed cosmetic physician and passionate advocate for patient safety and industry regulation, but you may not know that she is also skilled at blipping the throttle and dropping the hammer.
In the latest issue of Aesthetic Medical Practioner, Dr Dingley shares how she stays ahead on the track, and in the clinic, thanks to the Medpro Finance team - and our fast and flexible finance solutions.
And the beat goes on - Dr Michael Molton
Medpro Finance client Dr Michael Molton is a leading cosmetic physician and lover of all things music. And in life, as in music, timing and progression are key. They’re also the driving forces behind Dr Michael Molton’s quest to live life authentically and to the fullest – from practicing cosmetic medicine and playing the guitar for his band Ferguson Avenue to crushing the (younger) competition on the squash court.
For those of you who know this Adelaide cosmetic physician, to say he dances to the beat of his own drum is a given. (How many doctors do you know who scooter to work each day?) Once a diving instructor assessor and psychiatry registrar (more on that later), here he shares first-hand his winding journey to medicine and his passion for music and adventure.
A man of ethics - Dr Sean Arendse
As both an emergency doctor and cosmetic practitioner, Dr Sean Arendse sees the gamut of cases, from saving lives at The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, to ensuring cosmetic satisfaction at his Flawless Rejuvenation clinics.
Dr Arendse allied his practice with Medpro Finance some years ago and he says he has never looked back. “I bumped into director, Ross Andrews, a few years ago at a conference and he and his team have supported my business ever since. If I need any financial support, Ross is one phone call away and within a day or two everything has been done. All I have to do is sign on the dotted line, which is so important to me with my busy, time-poor lifestyle.” Read the full article in this issue of Aesthetic Medical Practioner.
A match made in medico heaven
After 30 years in business together, there’s no doubt Medpro Finance clients Dr Peter Muzikants & Dr Lesley Wild of Áda Aesthetic Medicine in Glebe have the secret to success. Starting out in the year 2000, Peter and Lesley have built a fantastic practice, while managing to maintain their work-life balance. With amazing grace, they manage to combine continuous updates to their practice with family travel for conferences, dancing and running marathons all over the world.
And with their success comes the ability to make astute investments, with excellent returns like those offered by the Medpro Enhanced Yield Fund. The couple sat down to share with Aesthetic Medical Practitioner Magazine their love for life and the benefits of partnering with Medpro Finance.
Cosmetic couple thrive from working with Medpro Finance
Starting up a business can be daunting and one of the biggest leaps you can take in your lifetime. Traditional banks really do make it hard if you are not already well established which takes time, effort and of course, money. With the help of Medpro Finance, Dr Dominic Wood and Dr Csilla Novak, long term clients and friends of Medpro director Ross Andrews, have become a true success story. Having set up and successfully grown 2 practices, complete with fit-outs and equipment, Dominic and Csilla have been able to take some time out of their busy schedules to enjoy the fruits of their labour.
The duo met with Aesthetic Medical Practioner Magazine to share their story of life, travel and keen business sense.

There is no substitute for enduring relationships like this one, built on mutual understanding, empathy and a desire to do our absolute best for our clients. Read the full article.
