Silicon Valley Bank announced that it provided Lincor Solutions, supplier of point of care computing platforms and patient engagement technology, with a $3 million equipment line of credit.

The new credit facility will be used to invest in equipment as Lincor Solutions launches its Software-as-a-Service (Saas) business in the US, and to support further expansion across EMEA.
