Horizon Bank: the floors

FY2017 to FY2024 approvals: 15.8% cancelled after approval, a floor. Within Horizon Bank's 502 loans, no ceiling appears. That upper bound treats not-yet-funded loans as cancelled ones. Loan Analytics' small-group test hides it on thin cohorts. Treat it as unknown rather than zero; the page does not guess.

Do not read it as zero; nothing is inferred. A 15.8% floor at Horizon Bank says approval is no funding. Horizon Bank: no rate, cash flow must hold. At Horizon Bank, test one is site demand. At Horizon Bank, test two is full project cost. At Horizon Bank, test three is debt service coverage. At Horizon Bank, test four is the appraisal.

SBA loans held by Horizon Bank

SBA guarantees these loans; the lender does not. The lender's name and every figure come from the U.S. Small Business Administration's public 7(a) and 504 FOIA file (data.sba.gov).

7(a) lender is the bank or lender the loan is currently assigned to (or last held it), as SBA records it; 504 lender is the Certified Development Company (CDC). 504 third-party (first-lien) lenders are free text with no identifier and are not credited.

Cancellation and charge-off

Cancelled after approval, FY2017 to FY2024 approvals (a floor)15.8%
The same, counting loans still undisbursed as cancelled (a ceiling)withheld
Charged off to date, FY2017 to FY2021 disbursed loans (a floor)withheld

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.
