The lending record behind Freeport
11 healthcare approvals averaging $314,755 set the deal shape lenders in Brazoria County have already underwritten
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 11 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [4] |
| Approved dollars | $3,462,300 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [4] |
| Average approval | $314,755 | Dollars divided by approvals [4] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 181 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
At 22.6 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. A request measured against 11 prior Brazoria County approvals is priced on precedent, which shortens the questions about valuation. With $53,606 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Freeport households actually spend.
The programs this provider mix points at
- Practice acquisition
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Startup and de novo
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Commercial real estate, owner-occupied
Ranked from the 12 fields that actually practice in Freeport, weighted toward primary care and family medicine. Availability still depends on Texas and on the funding partner.
What a funder reads first in Freeport
primary care and family medicine, general dentistry, urgent care account for most of what is enumerated in Freeport, so those are the files funders see from this town
| Field | What the file turns on | The capital event behind most requests |
|---|---|---|
| Primary care and family medicine (5) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
| General dentistry (5) | Three years of collections history, Hygiene as a share of collections, Overhead ratio and owner add-backs | Acquisition of an established practice |

How Freeport sits against the nearest metro
Distance to Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX is 58 miles. That is close enough for rent in Freeport to be compared against the metro and far enough that patient draw is not. At $53,606 median household income, the elective and cash-pay share of a projection is the line that gets tested first. No hospital operates here, so the referral sources and the call arrangement have to be named rather than assumed.
