SBA 504 Fitness Center Feasibility Study in Pennsylvania

What Pennsylvania shows for SBA 504 fitness center loans

On fitness center projects in Pennsylvania, SBA recorded 25 approvals, $35.8 million in gross dollars, in Pennsylvania under 504 across FY2017 to FY2026. Standing: 13 for the Pennsylvania fitness center (SBA 504) loan count, and 5 of 39 among Pennsylvania's own asset classes. The median fitness center loan in Pennsylvania is $1.0 million; against the national median for fitness center loans under SBA 504, 1.28x is the ratio, so Pennsylvania applicants take heavier loans as the nation does. Between $455,000 and $2.5 million lies half of the approvals across Pennsylvania. 4.0% of these Pennsylvania loans went to franchised businesses. Over these 25 loans, nothing in Pennsylvania clears the distinctness margin, so the fitness center record there reads like that of the wider groups it belongs to; for lender, county and timing detail, Pennsylvania readers should turn to the sections that follow.

Where the Pennsylvania loans sit

Leading the certified development companies list in Pennsylvania: Empire State Certified Development Corporation with 11 loans worth $16.2 million; South Eastern Economic Development Company of Pennsylvania with 6 loans worth $8.5 million. The Pennsylvania fitness center table tracks whoever holds each Pennsylvania loan; the originator of those 11 loans can differ. Within Pennsylvania, the counties with the most loans are Montgomery with 4, Allegheny with 3, Bucks with 2 and Chester with 2. On the calendar for Pennsylvania, approvals peaked at 4 loans, worth $4.9 million, in FY2019, while FY2026 shows 0 loans and $0. The first year, FY2017, held 3 loans.

Pennsylvania: outcomes, read as minimums for fitness center

No figure appears for the Pennsylvania fitness center cancellation rate, since few Pennsylvania loans sit in its cohort; read that Pennsylvania blank as a rate held back, never as an absence of fitness center cancellations. The loss rate for fitness center loans in Pennsylvania, using the FY2017 to FY2021 funding years, is withheld; too few Pennsylvania loans fall in that group, so no Pennsylvania figure is printed and no zero is implied for fitness center. Any rate shown for Pennsylvania fitness center is only a floor, because fitness center loans still open may yet fail. No separate coding limit is recorded for fitness center, but SBA files Pennsylvania industries by code, and a fitness center operator in Pennsylvania may be filed under another class than fitness center.

Issues a fitness center (SBA 504) study in Pennsylvania has to answer

In Pennsylvania, two loans sit behind a 504 fitness center project: one from a Pennsylvania certified development company, one from a separate Pennsylvania lender. A fitness center study has to prove that the owned fitness center site and its equipment can service both, with Pennsylvania equity from the borrower. A Pennsylvania fitness center study measures membership volume against nearby gyms and the joining can build. Equipment, changing facilities and building height shape fitness center build-out in Pennsylvania, so every line is given a number. Debt service coverage for Pennsylvania fitness center must be tested at the $1.0 million median and again near $2.5 million, the top end of the Pennsylvania middle half, alongside a slower fitness center scenario beside each. An appraiser must test member retention against rent, and our prediction gives each. A borrower who is approaching Empire State Certified Development Corporation should treat its 11 loans listed above as context alone; what SBA reports describes past loans and sets no requirement.

What Pennsylvania lenders backed before is history, 25 loans' worth; the project and site questions fall to a study by Daniel Smith, MAI, covering fitness center in Pennsylvania, and none of these Pennsylvania figures guarantees approval.
