What lenders have already approved in Miami-Dade County
The published file shows 170 healthcare approvals in Miami-Dade County, $80,200,800 in total, and that history is what an appraiser and a credit committee reach for
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 170 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [5] |
| Total approved capital | $80,200,800 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [5] |
| Mean deal size | $471,769 | Dollars divided by approvals [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 1,755 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
Reading South Miami the way a credit committee does
Underwriting starts with 515.6 providers per 10,000 residents, because that ratio caps how fast a chair or a room fills. Because Miami-Dade County already carries $80,200,800 across 170 healthcare approvals, a request near that average moves faster than one well above it. With $88,313 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what South Miami households actually spend.
Where a file from this town usually lands
- Practice acquisition
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out

Ranked from the 33 fields that actually practice in South Miami, weighted toward physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Availability still depends on Florida and on the funding partner.
What a funder reads first in South Miami
physical, occupational, and speech therapy, specialty physician groups, primary care and family medicine account for most of what is enumerated in South Miami, so those are the files funders see from this town
| Practice type | The pages that decide it | Typical capital event |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (115) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Specialty physician groups (107) | Ancillary revenue contribution, Provider productivity, Payer contracts | Ancillary build-out |
| Primary care and family medicine (96) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
Local counts come from NPPES. What a file turns on is drawn from how the field is generally reviewed, not from any decision about your practice.

06Is South Miami underwritten as part of Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL?
