Loan activity in Bergen County
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
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 39 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [4] |
| Approved dollars | $19,343,600 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [4] |
| Average approval | $495,990 | The dollar column over the approval column [4] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 598 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
Reading River Edge the way a credit committee does
Underwriting starts with 75.2 providers per 10,000 residents, because that ratio caps how fast a chair or a room fills. Because Bergen County already carries $19,343,600 across 39 healthcare approvals, a request near that average moves faster than one well above it. With $155,827 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what River Edge households actually spend.
Where a file from this town usually lands
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Equipment financing and leasing
Weighted by how often each of the 15 local fields reaches for a program, not by what is easiest to refer. New Jersey rules and the partner decide availability.

Questions from River Edge
01How many providers practice in River Edge, and in what?

An enumeration is a clinician, so the 92 here cover fewer than 92 practices.
02What does SBA lending look like around River Edge?
$19,343,600 went to healthcare borrowers in Bergen County across 39 approvals, $495,990 on average. Deals near River Edge get sized against that record before anything else.
03Is River Edge underwritten as part of New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ?
Partly. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ is 19 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 12,235 residents around River Edge. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
04Which fields carry the volume in River Edge?
The 15 enumerated fields are led by physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 31, with aba and autism therapy at 11 behind it. Those two counts double as the competition you are entering and the bench you would hire from.
05What does a $155,827 median income mean for case acceptance?
Median household income in River Edge runs $155,827. 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 Bergen County?
County Business Patterns records 598 credit intermediation establishments in Bergen County. That is the local origination bench, and it decides whether a file gets underwritten by somebody who has seen River Edge rents and resale before or by somebody working from a screen.
