EkoRent reports a near doubling of its profits

The credit company EkoRent, a member of investment group CREDITAS, has reached a significant milestone. As a leader in financing healthcare facilities in the Czech Republic, EkoRent’s total loan volume has now exceeded CZK 1.5 billion. Additionally, the company generated a net profit of CZK 25.2 million last year, a nearly 90% increase year-on-year. This growth confirms the rising demand among private doctors for flexible financing options.

EkoRent has experienced significant growth in loans for medical practice buyouts and property acquisitions across a diverse range of specialties. “We are witnessing heightened client interest in securing financing across a wide spectrum of medical fields, from gynaecology and cardiology to pulmonary outpatient clinics and gastroenterology. More and more doctors are seeking loans to acquire their own real estate and operate their practices independently. While many private practitioners still work under lease arrangements, we are seeing a rising demand for them to have their own dedicated premises, which is a need we aim to fulfil,” says Petr Harcuba, an executive director of EkoRent.

Increasingly, young doctors are turning to EkoRent to take over an established practice or start their own. “However, many lack the financial history required, complicating their plans. That’s why we offer them flexible financing tailored to their needs, making the path to owning their own practice easier. In this way, EkoRent supports not only the retention of existing practices, but also the creation of new ones across the country, including underserved areas facing shortages of GPs or dentists,” explains Petr Harcuba.

EkoRent, a company that has been in the market for 33 years, has concluded over 14,000 contracts for more than 7,500 clients. Since mid-2021, it has been part of the portfolio of Banka CREDITAS. Over 70% of its clientele consists of dental practices, although EkoRent also finances all other medical disciplines. The company offers loans to doctors for the purchase of surgeries, renovations, equipment, and even cars. Further growth and development of EkoRent was supported by the acquisition of the Medical division from J&T Leasing in 2024. Today, EkoRent manages more than 2,100 active loan and lease agreements across a variety of medical specialties.
