Loan activity in Craven County
With 2 healthcare approvals recorded, Craven County gives a valuation almost nothing local to lean on
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 2 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [4] |
| Total approved capital | $172,900 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [4] |
| Mean deal size | $86,450 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [4] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 50 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
What the two tables above change about a file
51.7 per 10,000 is the first number a credit analyst converts into a realistic new-patient count. With 2 approvals on record in Craven County, expect a longer appraisal and a wider collateral discount. With $64,433 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Havelock households actually spend.
Where a file from this town usually lands
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Working capital term loan
- Commercial real estate, owner-occupied
Weighted by how often each of the 18 local fields reaches for a program, not by what is easiest to refer. North Carolina rules and the partner decide availability.
The first pages of a Havelock file
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Havelock that means physical, occupational, and speech therapy, primary care and family medicine, general dentistry.
| Practice type | The pages that decide it | Typical capital event |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (26) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Primary care and family medicine (19) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
| General dentistry (10) | Three years of collections history, Hygiene as a share of collections, Overhead ratio and owner add-backs | Acquisition of an established practice |
Column one counts Havelock clinicians from the federal file. Columns two and three describe how the field is usually underwritten, and a partner can read a Havelock file differently.

Havelock owners, answered
01How many providers practice in Havelock, and in what?
NPPES lists 90 providers at a Havelock practice address, 51.7 per 10,000 residents across 18 tracked fields. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy accounts for 26 of them, 29 percent of the total, with primary care and family medicine next at 19. Read that as clinicians: 90 enumerations, not 90 owners.
02What does Craven County's shortage designation change?
Craven County holds a HRSA designation covering primary care, dental, mental health. A pro forma for Havelock can cite it as the reason a vacancy is fillable, which is usually the weakest line in a ramp schedule.
03Why does Craven County show so little SBA activity?
The published file records 2 7(a) and 504 approvals to healthcare borrowers in Craven County. That tracks how few Craven County practices changed hands that year, not credit quality. 50 credit intermediation establishments operate in Craven County, so the lending capacity is local even where the healthcare history is not.
04Is Havelock underwritten as part of Jacksonville, NC?
Partly. Jacksonville, NC is 31 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 17,407 residents around Havelock. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
05What does a $64,433 median income mean for case acceptance?
Median household income in Havelock runs $64,433. 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 Craven County?
County Business Patterns records 50 credit intermediation establishments in Craven County. That is the local origination bench, and it decides whether a file gets underwritten by somebody who has seen Havelock rents and resale before or by somebody working from a screen.
