The lending record behind South Milwaukee
The published file shows 18 healthcare approvals in Milwaukee County, $12,388,900 in total, and that history is what an appraiser and a credit committee reach for
| What it measures | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare files approved | 18 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [5] |
| Dollars behind them | $12,388,900 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [5] |
| Typical approval size | $688,272 | Dollars divided by approvals [5] |
| Credit offices operating locally | 443 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
What the two tables above change about a file
The ratio that matters up front is 55.4 per 10,000, which decides whether a ramp schedule reads as conservative. A request measured against 18 prior Milwaukee County approvals is priced on precedent, which shortens the questions about valuation. A $70,146 median household income here sets the ceiling on what an elective or cash-pay line can be expected to carry.
Where a file from this town usually lands
- Practice acquisition
- Startup and de novo
- Working capital term loan
- Medical receivables factoring
- Expansion, relocation, and build-out
The order comes from South Milwaukee's own provider mix, which physical, occupational, and speech therapy dominates at 48 percent. What a partner can actually place in Wisconsin is a separate question.
