| Line | Amount | Reading and source |

| Total approved capital | $42,384,900 | Approved, not disbursed, and not net of withdrawals [4] |

Reading Newcastle the way a credit committee does
The ratio that matters up front is 59.7 per 10,000, which decides whether a ramp schedule reads as conservative. A request measured against 91 prior King County approvals is priced on precedent, which shortens the questions about valuation. Household income of $162,646 in Newcastle is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.
Programs the Newcastle mix reaches for
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Equipment financing and leasing
The 15 fields practicing locally set this order. A funding partner, not this list, decides what is available in Washington.
The first pages of a Newcastle file
What a funder opens first depends on the field. In Newcastle that means physical, occupational, and speech therapy, primary care and family medicine, optometry and ophthalmology.
| Specialty | Read first in underwriting | Why the money is usually needed |
|---|---|---|
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (32) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
| Primary care and family medicine (12) | Panel size, Value-based contract exposure, Provider productivity | Acquisition |
| Optometry and ophthalmology (7) | Exam volume and optical capture, Vision plan mix, Inventory turns | Cold start or acquisition |
Column one counts Newcastle clinicians from the federal file. Columns two and three describe how the field is usually underwritten, and a partner can read a Newcastle file differently.
