Nicolet National Bank: SBA Lending Record
What SBA's own loan files show about Nicolet National Bank as an SBA lender, and how a lender's record bears on a feasibility study.
Nicolet as holder
Nicolet National Bank holds 832 loans for FY2017 to FY2026. At Nicolet, the gross dollars approved are $421.4 million. Not one of the 832 at Nicolet is an SBA 504 loan; all 832 are SBA 7(a). Nicolet: state of record Wisconsin. Nicolet is shown as holder of 832 loans at last record, or now. At Nicolet, SBA stands behind the 832. A loan Nicolet passed on no longer shows under Nicolet.
Nicolet: named classes
597 of the 832 loans at Nicolet are unplaced. That limits Nicolet's class view. Nicolet: full-service restaurant first, at 50, next beverage manufacturing at 20; automotive mechanical repair at 19. Then at Nicolet: limited-service restaurant at 19; hotel and motel at 17, fitness center at 17. Lower at Nicolet: beauty salon at 17, next coffee shop and snack bar at 14; liquor store at 13. Next at Nicolet: grocery store at 10, then child care center at 7, next gas station and truck stop at 6. With 597 unplaced loans in front, Nicolet offers class evidence for part of 832.
Nicolet: states
The largest state for Nicolet is Wisconsin at 479 loans, then Michigan with 136 and Minnesota with 94. The Nicolet table continues through Iowa at 71 and Colorado at 37. For Nicolet, 832 loans show holdings, not a lending territory.
Nicolet: the floors
Nicolet's FY2017 to FY2024 approvals: 5.2% or more cancelled, a floor among 832. Our own rule withholds the Nicolet ceiling. Nicolet's cohorts are too small. Nicolet has 491 FY2017 to FY2021 disbursements. At least 2.0% are charged off to date, 1.0% within five years of approval. The Nicolet figure of 2.0% is a floor. Open Nicolet loans can still be charged off.
Nicolet: how to read it
The Nicolet record gives a book's shape. 832 loans mark where Nicolet holds SBA loans. 5.2% cancelled marks where Nicolet approvals fell away, a floor for 832. Neither figure decides a Nicolet request. A Nicolet request has own demand and cost. The Nicolet study should say which of the 832 loans resemble the project. For Nicolet, it should name differences. 832 loans, read plainly, give Nicolet a fair view. A floor of 5.2% is history for Nicolet, not a forecast.
Nicolet: study to bring
A borrower weighing Nicolet should treat 832 loans as context, not a promise from Nicolet. In full-service restaurant, Nicolet shows 50 loans as a reference point. Nicolet: the study tests sales per seat. Nicolet needs labour cost tested too. Show Nicolet coverage in a slow year too. Nicolet needs an appraisal that supports it. Nicolet offers just 597 unplaced loans for an unnamed type. Nicolet's study makes the case. Nicolet holds 479 loans in Wisconsin. Elsewhere, Nicolet holdings need a reason. Cancelled at Nicolet: a floor of 5.2%. Approval is not funding. A Nicolet study should hold up under delay.
SBA loans held by Nicolet National 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.
| Loans approved, FY2017 to FY2026 | 832 |
|---|---|
| Gross dollars approved | $421.4 million |
| SBA 7(a) loans | 832 |
| SBA 504 loans | 0 |
Cancellation and charge-off
| Cancelled after approval, FY2017 to FY2024 approvals (a floor) | 5.2% |
|---|---|
| The same, counting loans still undisbursed as cancelled (a ceiling) | withheld |
| Charged off to date, FY2017 to FY2021 disbursed loans (a floor) | 2.0% |
| Charged off within five years of approval | 1.0% |
| Loans in that cohort | 491 |
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.
