The lending record behind Berwyn
122 healthcare approvals averaging $465,412 set the deal shape lenders in Cook County have already underwritten
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 122 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [5] |
| Approved dollars | $56,780,300 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [5] |
| Average approval | $465,412 | Dollars divided by approvals [5] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 2,528 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
Underwriting starts with 87.2 providers per 10,000 residents, because that ratio caps how fast a chair or a room fills. Because Cook County already carries $56,780,300 across 122 healthcare approvals, a request near that average moves faster than one well above it. Household income of $75,235 in Berwyn 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
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Equipment financing and leasing
