Orange County approvals, dollars, and lending establishments
The published file shows 161 healthcare approvals in Orange County, $100,743,500 in total, and that history is what an appraiser and a credit committee reach for
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 161 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [5] |
| Total approved capital | $100,743,500 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [5] |
| Mean deal size | $625,736 | The dollar column over the approval column [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 2,437 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
What the two tables above change about a file
Underwriting starts with 62.2 providers per 10,000 residents, because that ratio caps how fast a chair or a room fills. Because Orange County already carries $100,743,500 across 161 healthcare approvals, a request near that average moves faster than one well above it. A $137,970 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
Programs the Aliso Viejo mix reaches for
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Working capital term loan
- Equipment financing and leasing
Weighted by how often each of the 27 local fields reaches for a program, not by what is easiest to refer. California rules and the partner decide availability.
The first pages of a Aliso Viejo file
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Aliso Viejo that means physical, occupational, and speech therapy, general dentistry, primary care and family medicine.
| Specialty | Read first in underwriting | Why the money is usually needed |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (67) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| General dentistry (41) | Three years of collections history, Hygiene as a share of collections, Overhead ratio and owner add-backs | Acquisition of an established practice |
| Primary care and family medicine (27) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |

Questions from Aliso Viejo
01How many providers practice in Aliso Viejo, and in what?
314 enumerations sit at Aliso Viejo addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 62.2 for every 10,000 residents. 21 percent of them are physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and general dentistry follows with 41. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 314 here cover fewer than 314 practices.
02What does SBA lending look like around Aliso Viejo?
Healthcare borrowers in Orange County took 161 approvals worth $100,743,500 in the published fiscal year, averaging $625,736. That is the comparable set an appraiser near Aliso Viejo reaches for first.
03What does a $137,970 median income mean for case acceptance?
Median household income in Aliso Viejo runs $137,970. On elective and cash-pay work that is the number a funder converts into case acceptance, and it sets how much of a treatment plan a projection can assume gets started rather than deferred.
04What does Orange County's shortage designation change?
The primary care, dental, mental health designation HRSA carries on Orange County is a recruiting instrument: it puts repayment incentives in front of candidates, which is how a hiring plan for 50,457 residents gets past the question of who would take the job.
05How does the hospital in Aliso Viejo affect a practice file?
A Medicare-certified hospital operates in the town, which gives referral flow, a call schedule, and a clinical labor pool a funder can verify. 2 Medicare-certified providers are located here in total. It also sets the wage floor behind every hire in a 62.2 per 10,000 market.
06Which fields carry the volume in Aliso Viejo?
Physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 67 providers and general dentistry at 41 lead the 27 fields enumerated here. A funder reads that mix as the local competition set and the local hiring pool at once, before it reads a single line of your own numbers.
