Why home health agencies in South Carolina qualify
Home health agencies are classified under Home Health Care Services, which is an eligible category. That takes industry off the table and leaves the same four things every file is read on: average daily balance against revenue, time in business, negative days and NSFs, and existing positions.
The cash-cycle problem
Medicare, Medicaid and insurance reimbursement on 30-90 day terms against weekly caregiver payroll.
In South Carolina that usually means capital goes to caregiver payroll between reimbursements, recruiting, scheduling software, licensure expansion.
Steady demand; the constraint is reimbursement timing, not volume.
What applies in South Carolina
South Carolina funds normally on every tier — no extra restrictions apply.
Most of this activity sits around Charleston, Columbia, North Charleston and Greenville.
Vermont, North Dakota and South Dakota sit outside the lending area on every product. California and New York carry extra restrictions on the revenue-based tier.
State licensure and accreditation apply. Licensing is not a funding threshold here, but an expired licence shows up in diligence.
The South Carolina economy runs on manufacturing, ports and tourism, and home health agencies here largely track that base rather than the weather.
Hurricane exposure also means insurance premiums and business-interruption risk sit higher here than the national average, which shows up in fixed costs.
The published thresholds
Tier 1: 650 FICO, 3 years in business, $300,000 a year or $25,000 a month, 8+ monthly deposits.
Tier 2: 600 FICO, 6 months in business, $60,000 revenue, $800 minimum daily balance.
Renewal: 550 FICO, 2 years in business, once 50% of the original balance is repaid.
There is no hard credit cutoff here. The 650/600/550 tiers are product criteria, not a floor on the business. Scores in the 500s are placed routinely, and files in the 400s are read on revenue, deposit consistency and time in business rather than on the score alone.
