The lending record behind West Haven
The county file holds 7 healthcare approvals, which is a thin comparable set for anyone pricing collateral
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 7 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [5] |
| Total approved capital | $1,274,000 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [5] |
| Mean deal size | $182,000 | The dollar column over the approval column [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 273 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
At 86.5 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. A short county record of 7 approvals usually means more documentation and a lower advance against the same collateral. A $73,566 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
Programs the West Haven mix reaches for
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Startup and de novo
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Practice acquisition
- Working capital term loan
Weighted by how often each of the 24 local fields reaches for a program, not by what is easiest to refer. Connecticut rules and the partner decide availability.
What a funder reads first in West Haven
specialty physician groups, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, ketamine, tms, and interventional psychiatry account for most of what is enumerated in West Haven, so those are the files funders see from this town

Questions from West Haven
01How many providers practice in West Haven, and in what?
479 enumerations sit at West Haven addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 86.5 for every 10,000 residents. 22 percent of them are specialty physician groups, and physical, occupational, and speech therapy follows with 56. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 479 here cover fewer than 479 practices.
02What does South Central Connecticut County's shortage designation change?
Designated for primary care, dental, mental health, South Central Connecticut County qualifies its clinicians for federal repayment support. On a file that turns on adding staff, that is the difference between a hiring assumption and a hiring plan.
03Why does South Central Connecticut County show so little SBA activity?
South Central Connecticut County shows 7 approvals in the SBA healthcare file, which means an appraiser reaches outside the county for comparables. Few sales, not weak credit, is the usual reason. 273 lending establishments operate locally.
04How does the hospital in West Haven 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. It also sets the wage floor behind every hire in a 86.5 per 10,000 market.
05Which fields carry the volume in West Haven?
Volume concentrates in specialty physician groups, 107 of them, ahead of physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 56, across 24 fields. A thin second field usually means a longer search for staff than a pro forma allows for.
06Is West Haven underwritten as part of New Haven, CT?
New Haven, CT sits 4 miles away, close enough that appraisers reach into that market for rent and resale comparables while your patient draw stays local. The comparables read New Haven, CT; the 55,379 residents set the ceiling a projection can defend.
