SBA 7(a) Dental Office Feasibility Study in Kansas

What SBA's own loan files show about SBA 7(a) lending to dental office projects in Kansas, and what a feasibility study for an SBA 7(a) loan there has to test.

The Kansas SBA 7(a) dental office book in detail

$40.1 million in gross dollars, spread over 53 loans in the 7(a) program for dental office projects in Kansas, is what SBA authorized in Kansas from FY2017 to FY2026. Measured by loans, Kansas takes position 32 for dental office in this program, and inside Kansas the class holds 10 of 39. The median dental office loan in Kansas is $350,000; against the national midpoint for dental office loans under SBA 7(a), 0.71x is the ratio, so Kansas borrowers take smaller amounts as the nation does. Half of all Kansas approvals fall from $125,000 to $830,000. 0.00% of these Kansas loans went to franchised businesses. Neither the $350,000 Kansas median nor any other dental office metric among 53 loans is flagged against Kansas's all-asset totals or national dental office loans; for Kansas, use the named institutions and the local spread.

The lenders and places behind Kansas's dental office loans

The lenders with the most Kansas dental office loans are UMB Bank, National Association, 16 loans at $10.4 million, Emprise Bank, 10 loans at $2.9 million and Live Oak Banking Company, 5 loans at $15.5 million. The Kansas dental office ranking tracks whoever holds each Kansas loan today. Kansas's dental office loans sort by county as follows: Johnson with 20, Sedgwick with 10, Leavenworth with 5 and Shawnee with 3. Year by year in Kansas, approvals peaked at 10 loans, worth $5.3 million, in FY2025, with FY2026 at 6 loans and $5.3 million; the series began in FY2017 at 9.

Kansas: outcomes, read as minimums for dental office

A minimum of 13.5% for cancellations, with the upper bound at 13.5%, describes FY2017 to FY2024 Kansas dental office approvals, so undisbursed loans add no figure. For Kansas dental office loans funded from FY2017 to FY2021, charge-off outcomes among the 53 loans form too thin a cohort to report; Loan Analytics prints no Kansas figure here, and silence should not be read as a zero for dental office. Institutions should treat these Kansas rates, drawn from 53 loans, as floors, never as final results. No quirk in the coding distorts dental office totals for Kansas, though SBA files Kansas borrowers by industry code, and a dental office operator among the 53 can fall under a neighbouring Kansas class.

What a Kansas dental office study has to prove

A 7(a) loan for a Kansas dental office project, one of 53 on record, has SBA backing for part of the loan, through a participating Kansas lender; the study must answer to that lender's review, from how the money is used to dental office cash flow. A Kansas dental office feasibility study should test a trade area against competing dentists and how many chairs the plan needs. Operatory equipment, x-ray plus utility runs set dental office costs in Kansas, so the study prices them. Test the Kansas dental office cash flow at the $350,000 median and at $830,000: the ratio that survives only under a best case is not enough. An appraiser of a dental office must keep property and practice values apart, and the study should show each. Lenders such as UMB Bank, National Association appear in this Kansas record; the record is history, and what UMB Bank, National Association or any other Kansas lender wants from a dental office study is its own to state.

Take the Kansas dental office history above, 53 loans, as background: a dental office study from Loan Analytics for Kansas, signed by Daniel Smith, MAI, for dental office, does the project-level Kansas testing, and nothing here promises Kansas approval of a dental office loan.

Cancellation and charge-off

Cancelled after approval, FY2017 to FY2024 approvals (a floor) 13.5%
The same, counting loans still undisbursed as cancelled (a ceiling)13.5%
Charged off to date, FY2017 to FY2021 disbursed loans (a floor) not reported: fewer than 30 loans in the cohort

Both rates are floors. SBA withholds the status of open loans, so a loan counts as charged off only once SBA reports it; a rate needs at least 30 loans in its cohort and is otherwise not reported.
