Loan activity in Broward County
95 healthcare approvals averaging $478,471 set the deal shape lenders in Broward County have already underwritten
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 95 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [5] |
| Dollars behind them | $45,454,700 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [5] |
| Typical approval size | $478,471 | Dollars divided by approvals [5] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 1,200 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
Underwriting starts with 45.3 providers per 10,000 residents, because that ratio caps how fast a chair or a room fills. Because Broward County already carries $45,454,700 across 95 healthcare approvals, a request near that average moves faster than one well above it. With $200,156 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Parkland households actually spend.
Where a file from this town usually lands
- Practice acquisition
- Working capital term loan
- Startup and de novo
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Equipment financing and leasing
The order comes from Parkland's own provider mix, which physical, occupational, and speech therapy dominates at 39 percent. What a partner can actually place in Florida is a separate question.
The first pages of a Parkland file
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Parkland that means physical, occupational, and speech therapy, primary care and family medicine, aba and autism therapy.
| Field | What the file turns on | The capital event behind most requests |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (70) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Primary care and family medicine (19) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
| ABA and autism therapy (19) | Authorized hours against delivered hours, Payer mix stability, Billing compliance history | Working capital against authorization and billing lag |
Counts in the first column are Parkland providers from NPPES. The other two columns describe how funders read that field across markets like Parkland, not what any funder will do with your file.

Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL lies 38 miles from Parkland, close enough for rent comparables to travel and far enough that patient draw does not.

Referral flow comes from outside Parkland, which a projection needs to state plainly. A college in Parkland puts a term-shaped curve into monthly collections.

What owners in Parkland ask
01How many providers practice in Parkland, and in what?
180 enumerations sit at Parkland addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 45.3 for every 10,000 residents. 39 percent of them are physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and primary care and family medicine follows with 19. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 180 here cover fewer than 180 practices.
02What does SBA lending look like around Parkland?
Healthcare borrowers in Broward County took 95 approvals worth $45,454,700 in the published fiscal year, averaging $478,471. That is the comparable set an appraiser near Parkland reaches for first.
03Is Parkland underwritten as part of Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL?
Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL sits 38 miles away, close enough that appraisers reach into that market for rent and resale comparables while your patient draw stays local. The comparables read Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL; the 39,700 residents set the ceiling a projection can defend.
04What does a $200,156 median income mean for case acceptance?
Median household income in Parkland runs $200,156. On elective and cash-pay work that is the number a funder converts into case acceptance, and it sets how much of a treatment plan a projection can assume gets started rather than deferred.
05What does Broward County's shortage designation change?
HRSA designates Broward County for primary care, dental, mental health. That opens loan repayment programs for clinicians recruited into Parkland and evidences a staffing ramp in a 39,700 resident market.
06How does the college here show up in the numbers?
A campus in town means monthly collections rise and fall with terms. Say so in the projection for Parkland, because a summer trough that is explained is read as seasonality, and one that is not is read as decline.
