The lending record behind Prior Lake
6 healthcare approvals sit in the county file, so an appraiser here works from a short comparable set
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 6 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [4] |
| Approved dollars | $2,953,000 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [4] |
| Average approval | $492,167 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [4] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 56 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
How this data lands in an underwriting decision
43.9 per 10,000 is the first number a credit analyst converts into a realistic new-patient count. With 6 approvals on record in Scott County, expect a longer appraisal and a wider collateral discount. Household income of $130,278 in Prior Lake is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.
Where a file from this town usually lands
- Startup and de novo

- Equipment financing and leasing
- Working capital term loan
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
Built from what is enumerated here rather than from a national list, so a field with no presence in Prior Lake does not appear. Availability is still a Minnesota question.

What owners in Prior Lake ask
01How many providers practice in Prior Lake, and in what?
123 enumerations sit at Prior Lake addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 43.9 for every 10,000 residents. 28 percent of them are chiropractic, and physical, occupational, and speech therapy follows with 23. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 123 here cover fewer than 123 practices.
02Why does Scott County show so little SBA activity?
The published file records 6 7(a) and 504 approvals to healthcare borrowers in Scott County. That tracks how few Scott County practices changed hands that year, not credit quality. 56 credit intermediation establishments operate in Scott County, so the lending capacity is local even where the healthcare history is not.
03Is Prior Lake underwritten as part of Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI?
Partly. Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI is 19 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 28,018 residents around Prior Lake. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
04What does a $130,278 median income mean for case acceptance?
Median household income in Prior Lake runs $130,278. 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.
05What does Scott County's shortage designation change?
Designated for primary care, dental, mental health, Scott County qualifies its clinicians for federal repayment support. On a file that turns on adding staff, that is the difference between a hiring assumption and a hiring plan.
06Is there local lending capacity in Scott County?
County Business Patterns records 56 credit intermediation establishments in Scott County. That is the local origination bench, and it decides whether a file gets underwritten by somebody who has seen Prior Lake rents and resale before or by somebody working from a screen.
