What Davidson County credit files already show
0 healthcare approvals sit in the county file, so an appraiser here works from a short comparable set
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 0 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [5] |
| Total approved capital | $0 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [5] |
| Mean deal size | No approvals recorded | A mean, so one large approval moves it [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 530 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
At 148.6 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. Davidson County has 0 approvals to compare against, so plan for extra appraisal time and a conservative valuation. Household income of $65,898 in Goodlettsville is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.
Where a file from this town usually lands
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Working capital term loan
The order comes from Goodlettsville's own provider mix, which physical, occupational, and speech therapy dominates at 16 percent. What a partner can actually place in Tennessee is a separate question.
