The lending record behind Galt
The published file shows 35 healthcare approvals in Sacramento County, $17,985,400 in total, and that history is what an appraiser and a credit committee reach for
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 35 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [4] |
| Approved dollars | $17,985,400 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [4] |
| Average approval | $513,869 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [4] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 596 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
How this data lands in an underwriting decision
22.6 per 10,000 is the first number a credit analyst converts into a realistic new-patient count. 35 approvals worth $17,985,400 in Sacramento County means the size you are asking for has a local precedent to point at. A $86,327 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
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
Built from what is enumerated here rather than from a national list, so a field with no presence in Galt does not appear. Availability is still a California question.
