The lending record behind Beckley
The county file holds 2 healthcare approvals, which is a thin comparable set for anyone pricing collateral
| Measure | Published figure | What sits behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 2 | Counted for the fiscal year the SBA publishes [5] |
| Total approved capital | $995,600 | Everything approved to healthcare borrowers, added up [5] |
| Mean deal size | $497,800 | The dollar column over the approval column [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 38 | Places that write credit locally, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
A file from here opens on 328.2 providers per 10,000 residents, and everything about volume follows from it. Raleigh County has 2 approvals to compare against, so plan for extra appraisal time and a conservative valuation. Household income of $39,939 in Beckley is the number a lender uses to sanity check the self-pay share of a revenue projection.
The programs this provider mix points at
- Practice acquisition
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
- Working capital term loan
- Startup and de novo
- Equipment financing and leasing
Built from what is enumerated here rather than from a national list, so a field with no presence in Beckley does not appear. Availability is still a West Virginia question.

What owners in Beckley ask
01How many providers practice in Beckley, and in what?

Physical, occupational, and speech therapy accounts for 122 of them, 23 percent of the total, with primary care and family medicine next at 75. Read that as clinicians: 542 enumerations, not 542 owners.
02What does Raleigh County's shortage designation change?
Designated for primary care, dental, mental health, Raleigh 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.
03Why does Raleigh County show so little SBA activity?
Raleigh County shows 2 approvals in the SBA healthcare file, which means an appraiser reaches outside the county for comparables. Few sales, not weak credit, is the usual reason. 38 lending establishments operate locally.
04Is Beckley underwritten as part of Beckley, WV?
Beckley, WV sits 0 miles away, close enough that appraisers reach into that market for rent and resale comparables while your patient draw stays local. The comparables read Beckley, WV; the 16,515 residents set the ceiling a projection can defend.
05Which fields carry the volume in Beckley?
Physical, occupational, and speech therapy at 122 providers and primary care and family medicine at 75 lead the 33 fields enumerated here. A funder reads that mix as the local competition set and the local hiring pool at once, before it reads a single line of your own numbers.
06How does the hospital in Beckley affect a practice file?
A Medicare-certified hospital operates in the town, which gives referral flow, a call schedule, and a clinical labor pool a funder can verify. 8 Medicare-certified providers are located here in total. It also sets the wage floor behind every hire in a 328.2 per 10,000 market.
