Loan activity in Washington County
The county file holds 9 healthcare approvals, which is a thin comparable set for anyone pricing collateral
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 9 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [4] |
| Total approved capital | $3,680,700 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [4] |
| Mean deal size | $408,967 | Dollars divided by approvals [4] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 140 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
What the two tables above change about a file
At 80.2 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. A short county record of 9 approvals usually means more documentation and a lower advance against the same collateral. A $88,541 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
The programs this provider mix points at
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Medical receivables factoring
Ranked from the 12 fields that actually practice in Farmington, weighted toward physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Availability still depends on Arkansas and on the funding partner.
The first pages of a Farmington file
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Farmington that means physical, occupational, and speech therapy, primary care and family medicine, behavioral and mental health group practices.
| Practice type | The pages that decide it | Typical capital event |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (42) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Primary care and family medicine (8) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
| Behavioral and mental health group practices (8) | Clinician retention and productivity, Payer mix and Medicaid concentration, Re-authorization and session limit exposure | Working capital through the credentialing lag |
Local counts come from NPPES. What a file turns on is drawn from how the field is generally reviewed, not from any decision about your practice.

5 miles separate Farmington from Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers, AR. Lease pricing follows Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers, AR, while revenue stays capped by the 10,473 residents here. Households here carry $88,541 in median income, and that ceiling decides how much of a treatment plan gets started rather than deferred. Referral flow comes from outside Farmington, which a projection needs to state plainly.

Farmington owners, answered
01How many providers practice in Farmington, and in what?
84 enumerations sit at Farmington addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 80.2 for every 10,000 residents. 50 percent of them are physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and primary care and family medicine follows with 8. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 84 here cover fewer than 84 practices.
02What does Washington County's shortage designation change?
HRSA designates Washington County for primary care, dental, mental health. That opens loan repayment programs for clinicians recruited into Farmington and evidences a staffing ramp in a 10,473 resident market.
03Why does Washington County show so little SBA activity?
Only 9 healthcare approvals appear for Washington County in the published 7(a) and 504 file. Thin volume in Washington County is a transaction count, not a verdict on borrowers here. The county still holds 140 credit intermediation establishments.
04Is Farmington underwritten as part of Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers, AR?
Partly. Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers, AR is 5 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 10,473 residents around Farmington. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
05Which fields carry the volume in Farmington?
The 12 enumerated fields are led by physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 42, with primary care and family medicine at 8 behind it. Those two counts double as the competition you are entering and the bench you would hire from.
06Is there local lending capacity in Washington County?
County Business Patterns records 140 credit intermediation establishments in Washington County. That is the local origination bench, and it decides whether a file gets underwritten by somebody who has seen Farmington rents and resale before or by somebody working from a screen.
