Long Island Market
Long Island — Nassau and Suffolk Counties — is one of the largest suburban economies in the United States. 2.8 million people, $180B+ GDP, and some of the densest healthcare and manufacturing corridors on the East Coast. This isn't just a bedroom community for NYC commuters. Long Island has its own massive economic engine.
Healthcare dominates the local economy. Northwell Health is headquartered here and is the largest private employer in New York State. Dental groups, medical practices, and specialty clinics are everywhere — and practice acquisition activity is intense. DSOs and PE firms are buying up dental practices across Nassau and Suffolk, which means independent owners need to move fast if they want to stay competitive.
Manufacturing is the other pillar. Long Island's aerospace, defense, and biotech sectors employ tens of thousands. Companies like Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems, and dozens of precision manufacturers operate here. Equipment financing and facility expansion are constant capital needs.

Our team does a ton of financing volume on Long Island — especially healthcare practice acquisitions. DSOs are buying up dental practices across Nassau and Suffolk Counties, and independent owners who want to acquire instead of get acquired need financing that closes fast. SBA 7(a) with 10% down is the structure that wins. We've beaten DSO offers multiple times just by closing faster with better terms.
Beyond healthcare, Long Island's manufacturing sector is strong and growing. Aerospace and defense contracts require equipment investment and facility expansion. Capital stacking — SBA 504 for the building, equipment financing for the machines, working capital for the transition — is how our team structures these transactions. Run your numbers through our commercial funding calculator and see what makes sense.
