Loan activity in Oakland County
The published file shows 53 healthcare approvals in Oakland County, $30,622,600 in total, and that history is what an appraiser and a credit committee reach for
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 53 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [4] |
| Total approved capital | $30,622,600 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [4] |
| Mean deal size | $577,785 | The dollar column over the approval column [4] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 814 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
What the two tables above change about a file
Underwriting starts with 121.2 providers per 10,000 residents, because that ratio caps how fast a chair or a room fills. Because Oakland County already carries $30,622,600 across 53 healthcare approvals, a request near that average moves faster than one well above it. Household income of $153,125 in Birmingham is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.
Programs the Birmingham mix reaches for
- Startup and de novo
- Practice acquisition
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Working capital term loan
The order comes from Birmingham's own provider mix, which chiropractic dominates at 14 percent. What a partner can actually place in Michigan is a separate question.
The first pages of a Birmingham file
Drawn from the fields that actually practice here: chiropractic, general dentistry, ketamine, tms, and interventional psychiatry
| Field | What the file turns on | The capital event behind most requests |
|---|---|---|
| Chiropractic (37) | Cash plan revenue, Personal injury receivable age, Visit volume | Startup or acquisition |
| General dentistry (33) | Three years of collections history, Hygiene as a share of collections, Overhead ratio and owner add-backs | Acquisition of an established practice |
| Ketamine, TMS, and interventional psychiatry (28) | Session series completion, Coverage mix, Device utilization | Treatment device purchase |
The first column is Birmingham's own NPPES count. The rest is how the field is generally underwritten, whether the address is Birmingham or anywhere else.
