Scott County approvals, dollars, and lending establishments
The county file holds 6 healthcare approvals, which is a thin comparable set for anyone pricing collateral
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 6 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [5] |
| Approved dollars | $2,953,000 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [5] |
| Average approval | $492,167 | Dollars divided by approvals [5] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 56 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
52.0 per 10,000 is the first number a credit analyst converts into a realistic new-patient count. Scott County has 6 approvals to compare against, so plan for extra appraisal time and a conservative valuation. Household income of $122,646 in Savage is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.
The programs this provider mix points at
- Startup and de novo
- Practice acquisition
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Working capital term loan
- Medical receivables factoring
The order comes from Savage's own provider mix, which chiropractic dominates at 25 percent. What a partner can actually place in Minnesota is a separate question.
The first pages of a Savage file
chiropractic, home health, general dentistry account for most of what is enumerated in Savage, so those are the files funders see from this town
| Specialty | Read first in underwriting | Why the money is usually needed |
|---|---|---|
| Chiropractic (43) | Cash plan revenue, Personal injury receivable age, Visit volume | Startup or acquisition |
| Home health (26) | Medicare certification first, Payer mix second, Days in accounts receivable third | Payroll between visit and remittance |
| General dentistry (16) | Three years of collections history, Hygiene as a share of collections, Overhead ratio and owner add-backs | Acquisition of an established practice |
Counts in the first column are Savage providers from NPPES. The other two columns describe how funders read that field across markets like Savage, not what any funder will do with your file.

Savage owners, answered
01How many providers practice in Savage, and in what?
NPPES lists 171 providers at a Savage practice address, 52.0 per 10,000 residents across 22 tracked fields. Chiropractic accounts for 43 of them, 25 percent of the total, with home health next at 26. Read that as clinicians: 171 enumerations, not 171 owners.
02Why does Scott County show so little SBA activity?
Only 6 healthcare approvals appear for Scott County in the published 7(a) and 504 file. Thin volume in Scott County is a transaction count, not a verdict on borrowers here. The county still holds 56 credit intermediation establishments.
03Is Savage underwritten as part of Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI?
Partly. Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI is 15 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 32,896 residents around Savage. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
04What does a $122,646 median income mean for case acceptance?
Median household income in Savage runs $122,646. 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?
The primary care, dental, mental health designation HRSA carries on Scott County is a recruiting instrument: it puts repayment incentives in front of candidates, which is how a hiring plan for 32,896 residents gets past the question of who would take the job.
06Which fields carry the volume in Savage?
The 22 enumerated fields are led by chiropractic at 43, with home health at 26 behind it. Those two counts double as the competition you are entering and the bench you would hire from.
