Provo-Orem-Lehi: holders, places and years

Under SBA 7(a), SBA lists Central Bank (UT) with 10 loans worth $5.9 million as current holders. Holders here are today's holders. It cannot show what a lender wants. Place by place, Utah County, UT holds 32. Year by year, FY2017 shows 0 loans and $0 and FY2018 shows 9 loans and $7.8 million. The rest are not printed. There are not enough loans per year. It does not mean no loans. The Provo-Orem-Lehi years that print are too sparse. A lender will read Provo-Orem-Lehi figures against the project. The plan still needs its own evidence.

Questions a medical office study in Provo-Orem-Lehi must answer

For Provo-Orem-Lehi, neither cancellation nor charge-off rates print. The cohort is under Loan Analytics' floor. Withheld does not mean zero. An area is a 2023 county group. Each loan is matched via its county. Names are compared county to county. A loan with no match stays out. Context here is $21.4 million on 32 loans. Totals do not replace a study. Underwriting a medical office in Provo-Orem-Lehi turns on cash flow before billing matures; credentialing and time before billing; referral patterns and payer mix; the practice's payer contracts; practices already serving it; revenue per provider against payroll; exam room fit-out against the $347,050 median; parking and access for patients; and a supported value for clinical space. None of this forecasts a Provo-Orem-Lehi request. Every request is judged separately.

Counties with 5 or more loans; smaller ones are not listed.

Metro is the CBSA (metropolitan or micropolitan statistical area) of the loan's project county, July 2023 delineation (OMB Bulletin 23-01). The county is matched by name (manifests/ld2/county-cbsa-map.csv); a loan whose county cannot be placed in a 2023 CBSA is left out of every metro.

A value marked withheld rests on fewer than 5 loans, or is withheld so that such a figure cannot be derived from other published figures.
