Think Profit. ASCOA routinely achieves returns far in excess of that which is typical for new ventures or that of other investment opportunities generally available. These remarkable results derive from focus and discipline in our approach to development and management.

Our successful track record reflects a proven methodology that includes: efficient design; sound fiscal management; the ability to leverage economies of scale of a large network of facilities; experienced decision-making; a proven operating model; and the agility to stay ahead of industry trends.

We integrate our experience with the unique circumstances of each facility to bring out the best in all our facilities, financially and clinically.

Think Limited Personal Exposure. At ASCOA, we believe financing with a jointly and severally guaranteed bank loan is an unacceptable risk. Too much personal exposure is involved when each partner must guarantee a full loan amount that can reach into the millions. To answer this, ASCOA has developed limited-recourse sources of financing.

Using limited-recourse financing, the surgery facility's leasehold improvements often can be funded with personal guarantees limited to each partner's percentage interest in the project. The center's equipment can typically be financed without any personal guarantees. The center's working capital requirement is met individually by the center's partners on a pro rata basis.
