What Benton County credit files already show
The county file holds 7 healthcare approvals, which is a thin comparable set for anyone pricing collateral
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| SBA healthcare approvals | 7 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [4] |
| Approved dollars | $6,753,300 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [4] |
| Average approval | $964,757 | Dollars divided by approvals [4] |
| Lending establishments in the county | 93 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [5] |
The consequence of these numbers
A file from here opens on 24.4 providers per 10,000 residents, and everything about volume follows from it. A short county record of 7 approvals usually means more documentation and a lower advance against the same collateral. A $118,056 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
Programs the West Richland mix reaches for
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Equipment financing and leasing
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Working capital term loan
The order comes from West Richland's own provider mix, which general dentistry dominates at 20 percent. What a partner can actually place in Washington is a separate question.
What a funder reads first in West Richland
general dentistry, chiropractic, physical, occupational, and speech therapy account for most of what is enumerated in West Richland, so those are the files funders see from this town
| Field | What the file turns on | The capital event behind most requests |
|---|---|---|
| General dentistry (9) | Three years of collections history, Hygiene as a share of collections, Overhead ratio and owner add-backs | Acquisition of an established practice |
| Chiropractic (8) | Cash plan revenue, Personal injury receivable age, Visit volume | Startup or acquisition |
| Physical, occupational, and speech therapy (8) | Visits per case, Referral source concentration, Payer mix and authorization rules | Startup or expansion clinic |
Column one counts West Richland clinicians from the federal file. Columns two and three describe how the field is usually underwritten, and a partner can read a West Richland file differently.

West Richland owners, answered
01How many providers practice in West Richland, and in what?
NPPES lists 46 providers at a West Richland practice address, 24.4 per 10,000 residents across 14 tracked fields. General dentistry accounts for 9 of them, 20 percent of the total, with chiropractic next at 8. Read that as clinicians: 46 enumerations, not 46 owners.
02What does Benton County's shortage designation change?
HRSA designates Benton County for primary care, dental, mental health. That opens loan repayment programs for clinicians recruited into West Richland and evidences a staffing ramp in a 18,820 resident market.
03Why does Benton County show so little SBA activity?
Only 7 healthcare approvals appear for Benton County in the published 7(a) and 504 file. Thin volume in Benton County is a transaction count, not a verdict on borrowers here. The county still holds 93 credit intermediation establishments.
04Is West Richland underwritten as part of Kennewick-Richland, WA?
Comparables and demand split at 13 miles. An appraiser prices the lease and the equipment off Kennewick-Richland, WA; the revenue line has to hold up against 18,820 local residents.
05Which fields carry the volume in West Richland?
The 14 enumerated fields are led by general dentistry at 9, with chiropractic at 8 behind it. Those two counts double as the competition you are entering and the bench you would hire from.
06What does a $118,056 median income mean for case acceptance?
Median household income in West Richland runs $118,056. On elective and cash-pay work that is the number a funder converts into case acceptance, and it sets how much of a treatment plan a projection can assume gets started rather than deferred.
