| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (33) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Optometry and ophthalmology (8) | Exam volume and optical capture, Vision plan mix, Inventory turns | Cold start or acquisition |
| Behavioral and mental health group practices (7) | Clinician retention and productivity, Payer mix and Medicaid concentration, Re-authorization and session limit exposure | Working capital through the credentialing lag |

03Why does La Salle County show so little SBA activity?

04Is Streator underwritten as part of Bloomington, IL?
Bloomington, IL sits 46 miles away, close enough that appraisers reach into that market for rent and resale comparables while your patient draw stays local. The comparables read Bloomington, IL; the 12,295 residents set the ceiling a projection can defend.
05Is there local lending capacity in La Salle County?
County Business Patterns records 81 credit intermediation establishments in La Salle County. That is the local origination bench, and it decides whether a file gets underwritten by somebody who has seen Streator rents and resale before or by somebody working from a screen.
06What does a $54,953 median income mean for case acceptance?
Median household income in Streator runs $54,953. 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.
