What Champaign County credit files already show
With 4 healthcare approvals recorded, Champaign County gives a valuation almost nothing local to lean on
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 4 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [4] |
| Total approved capital | $1,036,800 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [4] |
| Mean deal size | $259,200 | Dollars divided by approvals [4] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 108 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
How this data lands in an underwriting decision
44.0 per 10,000 is the first number a credit analyst converts into a realistic new-patient count. With 4 approvals on record in Champaign County, expect a longer appraisal and a wider collateral discount. With $49,821 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Rantoul households actually spend.
Programs the Rantoul mix reaches for
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
Built from what is enumerated here rather than from a national list, so a field with no presence in Rantoul does not appear. Availability is still a Illinois question.
The first pages of a Rantoul file
Drawn from the fields that actually practice here: physical, occupational, and speech therapy, primary care and family medicine, dme and hme suppliers
| Practice type | The pages that decide it | Typical capital event |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (20) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Primary care and family medicine (6) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
| DME and HME suppliers (5) | Accreditation and surety bond status, Rental versus sale revenue split, Denial rate and documentation quality | Inventory and rental fleet |
Column one counts Rantoul clinicians from the federal file. Columns two and three describe how the field is usually underwritten, and a partner can read a Rantoul file differently.

Other Illinois markets
What owners in Rantoul ask
01How many providers practice in Rantoul, and in what?
54 enumerations sit at Rantoul addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 44.0 for every 10,000 residents. 37 percent of them are physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and primary care and family medicine follows with 6. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 54 here cover fewer than 54 practices.
02Why does Champaign County show so little SBA activity?
Only 4 healthcare approvals appear for Champaign County in the published 7(a) and 504 file. Thin volume in Champaign County is a transaction count, not a verdict on borrowers here. The county still holds 108 credit intermediation establishments.
03What does Champaign County's shortage designation change?
HRSA designates Champaign County for primary care, dental, mental health. That opens loan repayment programs for clinicians recruited into Rantoul and evidences a staffing ramp in a 12,268 resident market.
04Is there local lending capacity in Champaign County?
County Business Patterns records 108 credit intermediation establishments in Champaign County. That is the local origination bench, and it decides whether a file gets underwritten by somebody who has seen Rantoul rents and resale before or by somebody working from a screen.
05What does a $49,821 median income mean for case acceptance?
Median household income in Rantoul runs $49,821. 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.
06Is Rantoul underwritten as part of Champaign-Urbana, IL?
Champaign-Urbana, IL sits 15 miles away, close enough that appraisers reach into that market for rent and resale comparables while your patient draw stays local. The comparables read Champaign-Urbana, IL; the 12,268 residents set the ceiling a projection can defend.
