Berkeley County approvals, dollars, and lending establishments
1 healthcare approvals sit in the county file, so an appraiser here works from a short comparable set
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 1 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [5] |
| Approved dollars | $334,000 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [5] |
| Average approval | $334,000 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [5] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 117 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
Density of 116.6 per 10,000 sets the patient draw a projection can claim without an argument. A short county record of 1 approvals usually means more documentation and a lower advance against the same collateral. With $91,516 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Moncks Corner households actually spend.
Programs the Moncks Corner mix reaches for
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Equipment financing and leasing
Built from what is enumerated here rather than from a national list, so a field with no presence in Moncks Corner does not appear. Availability is still a South Carolina question.

Distance, income, and the wage floor around Moncks Corner
Distance to Charleston-North Charleston, SC is 26 miles. That is close enough for rent in Moncks Corner to be compared against the metro and far enough that patient draw is not. Households here carry $91,516 in median income, and that ceiling decides how much of a treatment plan gets started rather than deferred. With no hospital in town, a projection has to name where referrals and coverage come from. Moncks Corner is the Berkeley County seat, so county employment steadies the payer mix.
