What Collier County credit files already show
7 healthcare approvals sit in the county file, so an appraiser here works from a short comparable set
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 7 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [4] |
| Total approved capital | $8,814,000 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [4] |
| Mean deal size | $1,259,143 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [4] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 267 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
How this data lands in an underwriting decision
The ratio that matters up front is 55.0 per 10,000, which decides whether a ramp schedule reads as conservative. A short county record of 7 approvals usually means more documentation and a lower advance against the same collateral. Household income of $104,105 in Marco Island is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.
The programs this provider mix points at
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Working capital term loan
Weighted by how often each of the 16 local fields reaches for a program, not by what is easiest to refer. Florida rules and the partner decide availability.
Underwriting by field in Marco Island
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Marco Island that means physical, occupational, and speech therapy, primary care and family medicine, chiropractic.
| Field | What the file turns on | The capital event behind most requests |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (18) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Primary care and family medicine (13) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
| Chiropractic (12) | Cash plan revenue, Personal injury receivable age, Visit volume | Startup or acquisition |
The first column is Marco Island's own NPPES count. The rest is how the field is generally underwritten, whether the address is Marco Island or anywhere else.
