What Oakland County credit files already show
Lenders in Oakland County have already closed 53 healthcare approvals, averaging $577,785, which is the size a new file gets read beside
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 53 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [5] |
| Approved dollars | $30,622,600 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [5] |
| Average approval | $577,785 | Dollars divided by approvals [5] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 814 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
What the two tables above change about a file
Density of 142.9 per 10,000 sets the patient draw a projection can claim without an argument. Because Oakland County already carries $30,622,600 across 53 healthcare approvals, a request near that average moves faster than one well above it. With $94,115 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Farmington households actually spend.
The programs this provider mix points at
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Working capital term loan
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
The order comes from Farmington's own provider mix, which chiropractic dominates at 18 percent. What a partner can actually place in Michigan is a separate question.
Underwriting by field in Farmington
Drawn from the fields that actually practice here: chiropractic, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, general dentistry
| Specialty | Read first in underwriting | Why the money is usually needed |
|---|---|---|
| Chiropractic (30) | Cash plan revenue, Personal injury receivable age, Visit volume | Startup or acquisition |
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (26) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| General dentistry (22) | Three years of collections history, Hygiene as a share of collections, Overhead ratio and owner add-backs | Acquisition of an established practice |
Local counts come from NPPES. What a file turns on is drawn from how the field is generally reviewed, not from any decision about your practice.
