- Working capital term loan
- Practice acquisition

- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Business line of credit
The order comes from Commerce's own provider mix, which behavioral and mental health group practices dominates at 28 percent. What a partner can actually place in California is a separate question.
What a funder reads first in Commerce
behavioral and mental health group practices, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, hospice and palliative account for most of what is enumerated in Commerce, so those are the files funders see from this town
| Practice type | The pages that decide it | Typical capital event |
|---|---|---|
| Behavioral and mental health group practices (34) | Clinician retention and productivity, Payer mix and Medicaid concentration, Re-authorization and session limit exposure | Working capital through the credentialing lag |
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (16) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Hospice and palliative (15) | Census stability, Cap exposure, Certification status | Working capital through the certification ramp |
