The lending record behind Summerfield
Lenders in Guilford County have already closed 16 healthcare approvals, averaging $479,881, which is the size a new file gets read beside
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 16 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [4] |
| Dollars behind them | $7,678,100 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [4] |
| Typical approval size | $479,881 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [4] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 300 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
What the two tables above change about a file
At 46.8 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. A request measured against 16 prior Guilford County approvals is priced on precedent, which shortens the questions about valuation. With $151,131 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Summerfield households actually spend.
Programs the Summerfield mix reaches for
- 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 11 local fields reaches for a program, not by what is easiest to refer. North Carolina rules and the partner decide availability.
What a funder reads first in Summerfield
physical, occupational, and speech therapy, primary care and family medicine, dme and hme suppliers account for most of what is enumerated in Summerfield, so those are the files funders see from this town
| Specialty | Read first in underwriting | Why the money is usually needed |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (17) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Primary care and family medicine (11) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
| DME and HME suppliers (5) | Accreditation and surety bond status, Rental versus sale revenue split, Denial rate and documentation quality | Inventory and rental fleet |
The first column is Summerfield's own NPPES count. The rest is how the field is generally underwritten, whether the address is Summerfield or anywhere else.

What the geography does to a Summerfield projection
Greensboro-High Point, NC lies 8 miles from Summerfield, close enough that appraisers price the lease against Greensboro-High Point, NC rents while 11,333 residents set the revenue ceiling. Households here carry $151,131 in median income, and that ceiling decides how much of a treatment plan gets started rather than deferred. No hospital operates here, so the referral sources and the call arrangement have to be named rather than assumed.
