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 | 1,533 |
|---|---|
| Gross dollars approved | $1.45 billion |
| SBA 7(a) loans | 1,533 |
| SBA 504 loans | 0 |
Cancellation and charge-off
| Cancelled after approval, FY2017 to FY2024 approvals (a floor) | 10.1% |
|---|---|
| The same, counting loans still undisbursed as cancelled (a ceiling) | 10.1% |
| Charged off to date, FY2017 to FY2021 disbursed loans (a floor) | 4.7% |
| Charged off within five years of approval | 2.6% |

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.
