What lenders have already approved in Jackson County
The county file holds 2 healthcare approvals, which is a thin comparable set for anyone pricing collateral
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 2 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [5] |
| Approved dollars | $1,261,500 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [5] |
| Average approval | $630,750 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [5] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 101 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
What the two tables above change about a file
A file from here opens on 58.5 providers per 10,000 residents, and everything about volume follows from it. A short county record of 2 approvals usually means more documentation and a lower advance against the same collateral. A $46,684 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
Programs the Moss Point mix reaches for
- Practice acquisition
- Working capital term loan
- Startup and de novo
- Medical receivables factoring
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
Weighted by how often each of the 16 local fields reaches for a program, not by what is easiest to refer. Mississippi rules and the partner decide availability.
The first pages of a Moss Point file
Drawn from the fields that actually practice here: primary care and family medicine, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, chiropractic
| Specialty | Read first in underwriting | Why the money is usually needed |
|---|---|---|
| Primary care and family medicine (14) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (12) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Chiropractic (6) | Cash plan revenue, Personal injury receivable age, Visit volume | Startup or acquisition |
Column one counts Moss Point clinicians from the federal file. Columns two and three describe how the field is usually underwritten, and a partner can read a Moss Point file differently.

How Moss Point sits against the nearest metro
Distance to Mobile, AL is 30 miles. That is close enough for rent in Moss Point to be compared against the metro and far enough that patient draw is not. Households here carry $46,684 in median income, and that ceiling decides how much of a treatment plan gets started rather than deferred. With no hospital in town, a projection has to name where referrals and coverage come from.

What owners in Moss Point ask
01How many providers practice in Moss Point, and in what?
69 enumerations sit at Moss Point addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 58.5 for every 10,000 residents. 20 percent of them are primary care and family medicine, and physical, occupational, and speech therapy follows with 12. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 69 here cover fewer than 69 practices.
02What does Jackson County's shortage designation change?
Designated for primary care, dental, mental health, Jackson 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.
03Why does Jackson County show so little SBA activity?
The published file records 2 7(a) and 504 approvals to healthcare borrowers in Jackson County. That tracks how few Jackson County practices changed hands that year, not credit quality. 101 credit intermediation establishments operate in Jackson County, so the lending capacity is local even where the healthcare history is not.
04What does a $46,684 median income mean for case acceptance?
Median household income in Moss Point runs $46,684. 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.
05Is Moss Point underwritten as part of Mobile, AL?
Comparables and demand split at 30 miles. An appraiser prices the lease and the equipment off Mobile, AL; the revenue line has to hold up against 11,791 local residents.
06Which fields carry the volume in Moss Point?
Volume concentrates in primary care and family medicine, 14 of them, ahead of physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 12, across 16 fields. A thin second field usually means a longer search for staff than a pro forma allows for.
