Loan activity in Williamson County
The county file holds 5 healthcare approvals, which is a thin comparable set for anyone pricing collateral
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 5 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [4] |
| Approved dollars | $3,972,400 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [4] |
| Average approval | $794,480 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [4] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 272 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
What the two tables above change about a file
57.9 per 10,000 is the first number a credit analyst converts into a realistic new-patient count. With 5 approvals on record in Williamson County, expect a longer appraisal and a wider collateral discount. A $88,333 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
Where a file from this town usually lands
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Working capital term loan
- Equipment financing and leasing
The order comes from Fairview's own provider mix, which physical, occupational, and speech therapy dominates at 25 percent. What a partner can actually place in Tennessee is a separate question.
The first pages of a Fairview file
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Fairview that means physical, occupational, and speech therapy, general dentistry, independent pharmacy.
| Specialty | Read first in underwriting | Why the money is usually needed |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (15) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| General dentistry (11) | Three years of collections history, Hygiene as a share of collections, Overhead ratio and owner add-backs | Acquisition of an established practice |
| Independent pharmacy (7) | Script count and file retention, Gross margin after direct and indirect remuneration, Wholesaler terms against reimbursement timing | Acquisition of the business or the prescription files |
NPPES supplies the Fairview counts. The reading columns describe the field in general, and no partner reviewing a Fairview file is bound by them.

What owners in Fairview ask
01How many providers practice in Fairview, and in what?
61 enumerations sit at Fairview addresses in the monthly NPPES file, working out to 57.9 for every 10,000 residents. 25 percent of them are physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and general dentistry follows with 11. An enumeration is a clinician, so the 61 here cover fewer than 61 practices.
02Why does Williamson County show so little SBA activity?
Williamson County shows 5 approvals in the SBA healthcare file, which means an appraiser reaches outside the county for comparables. Few sales, not weak credit, is the usual reason. 272 lending establishments operate locally.
03What does Williamson County's shortage designation change?
The primary care, dental, mental health designation HRSA carries on Williamson County is a recruiting instrument: it puts repayment incentives in front of candidates, which is how a hiring plan for 10,535 residents gets past the question of who would take the job.
04Is Fairview underwritten as part of Nashville-Davidson--Murfreesboro--Franklin, TN?
Partly. Nashville-Davidson--Murfreesboro--Franklin, TN is 23 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 10,535 residents around Fairview. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
05Which fields carry the volume in Fairview?
The 14 enumerated fields are led by physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 15, with general dentistry at 11 behind it. Those two counts double as the competition you are entering and the bench you would hire from.
06Is there local lending capacity in Williamson County?
County Business Patterns records 272 credit intermediation establishments in Williamson County. That is the local origination bench, and it decides whether a file gets underwritten by somebody who has seen Fairview rents and resale before or by somebody working from a screen.
