The lending record behind Wadsworth
The county file holds 4 healthcare approvals, which is a thin comparable set for anyone pricing collateral
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 4 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [5] |
| Total approved capital | $541,900 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [5] |
| Mean deal size | $135,475 | The dollar column over the approval column [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 66 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
What the two tables above change about a file
The ratio that matters up front is 93.3 per 10,000, which decides whether a ramp schedule reads as conservative. A short county record of 4 approvals usually means more documentation and a lower advance against the same collateral. A $77,581 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
The programs this provider mix points at
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Equipment financing and leasing

12 miles separate Wadsworth from Akron, OH. Lease pricing follows Akron, OH, while revenue stays capped by the 24,753 residents here. At $77,581 median household income, the elective and cash-pay share of a projection is the line that gets tested first.

Wadsworth owners, answered
01How many providers practice in Wadsworth, and in what?
231 enumerations sit at Wadsworth addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 93.3 for every 10,000 residents. 23 percent of them are physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and primary care and family medicine follows with 29. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 231 here cover fewer than 231 practices.
02Why does Medina County show so little SBA activity?
Only 4 healthcare approvals appear for Medina County in the published 7(a) and 504 file. Thin volume in Medina County is a transaction count, not a verdict on borrowers here. The county still holds 66 credit intermediation establishments.
03What does Medina County's shortage designation change?
The primary care, dental, mental health designation HRSA carries on Medina County is a recruiting instrument: it puts repayment incentives in front of candidates, which is how a hiring plan for 24,753 residents gets past the question of who would take the job.
04Which fields carry the volume in Wadsworth?
The 22 enumerated fields are led by physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 53, with primary care and family medicine at 29 behind it. Those two counts double as the competition you are entering and the bench you would hire from.
05How many Medicare-certified providers are based in Wadsworth?
Care Compare lists 2 certified providers with a Wadsworth 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.
06Is Wadsworth underwritten as part of Akron, OH?
Comparables and demand split at 12 miles. An appraiser prices the lease and the equipment off Akron, OH; the revenue line has to hold up against 24,753 local residents.
