Loan activity in Sumter County
The county file holds 1 healthcare approvals, which is a thin comparable set for anyone pricing collateral
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 1 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [5] |
| Approved dollars | $3,450,000 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [5] |
| Average approval | $3,450,000 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [5] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 54 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
48.9 per 10,000 is the first number a credit analyst converts into a realistic new-patient count. With 1 approvals on record in Sumter County, expect a longer appraisal and a wider collateral discount. A $71,858 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.

The first pages of a Wildwood file
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Wildwood that means physical, occupational, and speech therapy, primary care and family medicine, general dentistry.
| Practice type | The pages that decide it | Typical capital event |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (14) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Primary care and family medicine (10) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
| General dentistry (8) | Three years of collections history, Hygiene as a share of collections, Overhead ratio and owner add-backs | Acquisition of an established practice |
Counts in the first column are Wildwood providers from NPPES. The other two columns describe how funders read that field across markets like Wildwood, not what any funder will do with your file.
