What Bergen County credit files already show
The published file shows 39 healthcare approvals in Bergen County, $19,343,600 in total, and that history is what an appraiser and a credit committee reach for
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 39 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [5] |
| Total approved capital | $19,343,600 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [5] |
| Mean deal size | $495,990 | The dollar column over the approval column [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 598 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
What the two tables above change about a file
The ratio that matters up front is 61.4 per 10,000, which decides whether a ramp schedule reads as conservative. A request measured against 39 prior Bergen County approvals is priced on precedent, which shortens the questions about valuation. Household income of $101,295 in Palisades Park is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.
The programs this provider mix points at
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Working capital term loan
Weighted by how often each of the 19 local fields reaches for a program, not by what is easiest to refer. New Jersey rules and the partner decide availability.

| Chiropractic (18) | Cash plan revenue, Personal injury receivable age, Visit volume | Startup or acquisition |
| Optometry and ophthalmology (18) | Exam volume and optical capture, Vision plan mix, Inventory turns | Cold start or acquisition |
