The lending record behind Ennis
With 5 healthcare approvals recorded, Ellis County gives a valuation almost nothing local to lean on
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 5 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [5] |
| Dollars behind them | $3,162,300 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [5] |
| Typical approval size | $632,460 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [5] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 86 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
How this data lands in an underwriting decision
At 67.1 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. Ellis County has 5 approvals to compare against, so plan for extra appraisal time and a conservative valuation. A $72,772 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
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Working capital term loan
- Equipment financing and leasing
Weighted by how often each of the 23 local fields reaches for a program, not by what is easiest to refer. Texas rules and the partner decide availability.
