McLennan County approvals, dollars, and lending establishments
7 healthcare approvals sit in the county file, so an appraiser here works from a short comparable set
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 7 | One published fiscal year, healthcare borrowers only [4] |
| Total approved capital | $4,997,000 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [4] |
| Mean deal size | $713,857 | A mean, so one large approval moves it [4] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 173 | Credit intermediation offices sited in the county [6] |
What the two tables above change about a file
Underwriting starts with 40.0 providers per 10,000 residents, because that ratio caps how fast a chair or a room fills. McLennan County has 7 approvals to compare against, so plan for extra appraisal time and a conservative valuation. With $83,798 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Hewitt households actually spend.
The programs this provider mix points at
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
Weighted by how often each of the 16 local fields reaches for a program, not by what is easiest to refer. Texas rules and the partner decide availability.
What a funder reads first in Hewitt
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Hewitt that means physical, occupational, and speech therapy, chiropractic, general dentistry.
| Practice type | The pages that decide it | Typical capital event |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (19) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Chiropractic (8) | Cash plan revenue, Personal injury receivable age, Visit volume | Startup or acquisition |
| General dentistry (7) | Three years of collections history, Hygiene as a share of collections, Overhead ratio and owner add-backs | Acquisition of an established practice |
NPPES supplies the Hewitt counts. The reading columns describe the field in general, and no partner reviewing a Hewitt file is bound by them.

How Hewitt sits against the nearest metro
7 miles separate Hewitt from Waco, TX. Lease pricing follows Waco, TX, while revenue stays capped by the 16,749 residents here. At $83,798 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.

What owners in Hewitt ask
01How many providers practice in Hewitt, and in what?
NPPES lists 67 providers at a Hewitt practice address, 40.0 per 10,000 residents across 16 tracked fields. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy accounts for 19 of them, 28 percent of the total, with chiropractic next at 8. Read that as clinicians: 67 enumerations, not 67 owners.
02Why does McLennan County show so little SBA activity?
The published file records 7 7(a) and 504 approvals to healthcare borrowers in McLennan County. That tracks how few McLennan County practices changed hands that year, not credit quality. 173 credit intermediation establishments operate in McLennan County, so the lending capacity is local even where the healthcare history is not.
03Is Hewitt underwritten as part of Waco, TX?
Partly. Waco, TX is 7 miles out, so rent and equipment comparables travel in from there while patients still come from the 16,749 residents around Hewitt. Cost side metro, revenue side local.
04What does McLennan County's shortage designation change?
Designated for primary care, dental, mental health, McLennan County qualifies its clinicians for federal repayment support. On a file that turns on adding staff, that is the difference between a hiring assumption and a hiring plan.
05Is there local lending capacity in McLennan County?
County Business Patterns records 173 credit intermediation establishments in McLennan County. That is the local origination bench, and it decides whether a file gets underwritten by somebody who has seen Hewitt rents and resale before or by somebody working from a screen.
06What does the underserved designation in McLennan County support?
McLennan County carries a medically underserved designation. It evidences unmet demand behind a capacity build, and it opens recruitment programs that make a staffing line in a projection easier to defend than local wage data alone would.
