What lenders have already approved in Los Angeles County
The published file shows 298 healthcare approvals in Los Angeles County, $229,015,900 in total, and that history is what an appraiser and a credit committee reach for
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 298 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [6] |
| Approved dollars | $229,015,900 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [6] |
| Average approval | $768,510 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [6] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 4,689 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [7] |
What the two tables above change about a file
Density of 158.3 per 10,000 sets the patient draw a projection can claim without an argument. Because Los Angeles County already carries $229,015,900 across 298 healthcare approvals, a request near that average moves faster than one well above it. Household income of $192,159 in Malibu is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.
Where a file from this town usually lands
- Commercial real estate, owner-occupied
- Working capital term loan
- Practice acquisition
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Startup and de novo
The order comes from Malibu's own provider mix, which sud treatment and residential dominates at 40 percent. What a partner can actually place in California is a separate question.
What a funder reads first in Malibu
Drawn from the fields that actually practice here: sud treatment and residential, primary care and family medicine, physical, occupational, and speech therapy
| Specialty | Read first in underwriting | Why the money is usually needed |
|---|---|---|
| SUD treatment and residential (65) | Census and level of care mix, In-network versus out-of-network billing history, Utilization review outcomes | Facility real estate |
| Primary care and family medicine (27) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (13) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
NPPES supplies the Malibu counts. The reading columns describe the field in general, and no partner reviewing a Malibu file is bound by them.
