Used medical equipment is a vibrant and large market. Many veterinarians, small clinics, small hospitals, and other countries buy used medical equipment. The following are some sites or places to check out.

• Leasing used medical equipment is a great option for start-ups. It lets a start-up try out the tools and find the best fit for their operation. Leasing has financing options that can get your equipment in place quickly and efficiently.  Use a site like such as canada 411 to find the leasing sites that are best for you.
• Brokers wheel and deal with operating hospitals to offer a large inventory of equipment. Brokers do not have or sell the equipment themselves. Instead they establish relationships with the medical community, and inventory available equipment. This allows people or hospitals to find the equipment they need quickly and in large quantities. The largest online market place is medmarketplace.com
• Auctions are another avenue to find used medical equipment. Hospitals and clinics closing their doors may put equipment up for auction to pay off debts. Be aware that the big boys in the used medical equipment industry know about this as well. Make a plan, and budget your money well.
• Social media such as LinkedIn and Facebook sell used equipment. Often there is a spot to list what you need for your business as well as lists of what is available.
• Refurbished equipment is available at many of the places that new equipment is sold. Refurbished is a process where the equipment is cleaned and updated. The advantage of this option is you get a guarantee that it will work properly.

Finding used medical equipment is easy. Spend your time developing a strategy and finding money.
