As the leader in Proton Therapy facility development, IBA understands that financing is a critical component. And, with global experience, IBA also understands the various financial and business models used around the world. For a capital-intensive project of this scale, gaining the leverage you need to gather the right financing program is paramount to success. IBA works with financial institutions such as ONDD, the Belgian Export Credit Agency, that understand the scope and intricacies involved in Proton Therapy facility development. IBA can help develop diverse, flexible programs for almost any financial need.
In addition, funding options, including MaxiPRO in the United States, and the Lifebeam® turnkey solution, available in Europe and the Middle East, help ensure Proton Therapy is accessible for more medical professionals an their patients.
No matter where you’re considering developing a Proton Therapy facility, IBA can help facilitate the all-important financial aspects to help make your vision a reality.
You can make Proton Therapy a reality for your patients with IBA’s new funding solutions. Working with our partners, we design proposals that are a perfect fit for your institution. From financing to equipment to construction, we can do it all for you – quickly, easily and economically. Our finance offerings are specifically tailored to you and your needs.
One such offering is MaxiPRO rental financing, an all-inclusive rental program that makes a fully operational Proteus® Proton Therapy system available to qualified clients for a pre-determined monthly fee. This fee may cover the Proteus® system, its installation, ancillary systems, the building, and the operation and maintenance of the equipment, or any part of the above, over an agreed-upon period of time.
In addition, to MaxiPRO, IBA offers a full suite of flexible financing offerings that can be easily customized for your specific needs.
With MaxiPRO, you can provide Proton Therapy to your patients:
MaxiPRO is one of several financing offerings that IBA makes available to its customers. Tailored, structured financing solutions are also available to meet your needs.
Long time frames, inadequate budgets and various risks are often cited as roadblocks to realizing a Proton Therapy center. IBA Lifebeam® offers a complete turnkey solution based on a public-private partnership (PPP) model. Through Lifebeam®, IBA designs, finances, build and operates the Proton Therapy facility that best fits the needs of the public partner, and makes it available to that partner for payment of a periodic rental fee.
Lifebeam® is not available to U.S. customers. Contact your IBA representative for U.S. financing programs.
Of course, each project and each situation is unique and requires some customized arrangements. However, standard market practice will provide the following:
Land: The land for the facility is made available by the public partner.
Performance risk: The performance risk is taken by the private partner while the revenue risk (also called volume risk) is taken by the public partner.
Guarantee: Payment of the periodic rental fee is guaranteed by a sovereign guarantee or similar coverage.
Transfer: Ownership of the facility is transferred without cost to the public partner after a predefined concession period.
Efficiency: You concentrate your resources on what you do best – treat patients – and you let your private partner do what it does best – build and operate a Proton Therapy facility.
Budget constraints: The PPP structure lets you avoid capital mobilization and/or attempting to secure huge investment budgets during a short time period.
Fair-risk allocation: Based on each partner’s capabilities to manage them, you pay the rental fee only if the facility is available in accordance with a predefined, guaranteed level of performance.
