Forsyth County approvals, dollars, and lending establishments
With 1 healthcare approvals recorded, Forsyth County gives a valuation almost nothing local to lean on
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 1 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [5] |
| Total approved capital | $112,000 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [5] |
| Mean deal size | $112,000 | Dollars divided by approvals [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 219 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
How this data lands in an underwriting decision
At 144.6 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. A short county record of 1 approvals usually means more documentation and a lower advance against the same collateral. A $69,923 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
Programs the Kernersville mix reaches for

Kernersville owners, answered
01How many providers practice in Kernersville, and in what?
416 enumerations sit at Kernersville addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 144.6 for every 10,000 residents. 28 percent of them are physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and primary care and family medicine follows with 46. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 416 here cover fewer than 416 practices.
02Why does Forsyth County show so little SBA activity?
Only 1 healthcare approvals appear for Forsyth County in the published 7(a) and 504 file. Thin volume in Forsyth County is a transaction count, not a verdict on borrowers here. The county still holds 219 credit intermediation establishments.
03Is Kernersville underwritten as part of Winston-Salem, NC?
Partly. Winston-Salem, NC is 10 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 28,760 residents around Kernersville. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
04What does Forsyth County's shortage designation change?
HRSA designates Forsyth County for primary care, dental, mental health. That opens loan repayment programs for clinicians recruited into Kernersville and evidences a staffing ramp in a 28,760 resident market.
05Which fields carry the volume in Kernersville?
Volume concentrates in physical, occupational, and speech therapy, 115 of them, ahead of primary care and family medicine at 46, across 25 fields. A thin second field usually means a longer search for staff than a pro forma allows for.
06How many Medicare-certified providers are based in Kernersville?
Care Compare lists 6 certified providers with a Kernersville address. That count is a proxy for how much of the local revenue arrives on a federal payment cycle rather than at the front desk.
