What lenders have already approved in the county
With 6 healthcare approvals recorded, the county gives a valuation almost nothing local to lean on
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 6 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [5] |
| Total approved capital | $1,768,900 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [5] |
| Mean deal size | $294,817 | The dollar column over the approval column [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 53 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
How this data lands in an underwriting decision
At 58.0 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. With 6 approvals on record in the county, expect a longer appraisal and a wider collateral discount. With $110,000 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Chaska households actually spend.
Where a file from this town usually lands
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Working capital term loan
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
The order comes from Chaska's own provider mix, which physical, occupational, and speech therapy dominates at 22 percent. What a partner can actually place in Minnesota is a separate question.

Chaska owners, answered
01How many providers practice in Chaska, and in what?
175 enumerations sit at Chaska addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 58.0 for every 10,000 residents. 22 percent of them are physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and chiropractic follows with 29. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 175 here cover fewer than 175 practices.
02Why does the county show so little SBA activity?
the county shows 6 approvals in the SBA healthcare file, which means an appraiser reaches outside the county for comparables. Few sales, not weak credit, is the usual reason. 53 lending establishments operate locally.
03Which fields carry the volume in Chaska?
Physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 39 providers and chiropractic at 29 lead the 22 fields enumerated here. A funder reads that mix as the local competition set and the local hiring pool at once, before it reads a single line of your own numbers.
04Is Chaska underwritten as part of Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI?
Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI sits 20 miles away, close enough that appraisers reach into that market for rent and resale comparables while your patient draw stays local. The comparables read Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI; the 30,167 residents set the ceiling a projection can defend.
05What does a $110,000 median income mean for case acceptance?
Median household income in Chaska runs $110,000. 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 there local lending capacity in the county?
County Business Patterns records 53 credit intermediation establishments in the county. That is the local origination bench, and it decides whether a file gets underwritten by somebody who has seen Chaska rents and resale before or by somebody working from a screen.
