Univest Bank and Trust Co: SBA Lending Record

What SBA's own loan files show about Univest Bank and Trust Co as an SBA lender, and how a lender's record bears on a feasibility study.

Univest Bank and Trust Co in SBA data

Univest Bank and Trust Co appears in SBA's files with 348 loans and $241.8 million in gross approvals over the FY2017 to FY2026 window. Every one is SBA 7(a), none SBA 504, and the file names PA for Univest Bank and Trust Co. These are loans that SBA shows Univest Bank and Trust Co holding now or last, with the guarantee SBA's. The file credits each 7(a) loan to its latest holder.

Pennsylvania and two neighbours

Pennsylvania has 268 loans, Maryland 35 and New Jersey 35. Class detail is missing for 232 of the 348. Limited-service restaurants lead the rest with 20, full-service restaurant has 18, the fitness center 16, beverage manufacturing 13 and child care 11.

Cancellations and charge-offs

Cancelled share, FY2017 to FY2024 approvals: 15.7% minimum. 18.5% maximum, with undisbursed loans counted as cancelled. 85 loans funded in FY2017 to FY2021 show 7.1% as a charge-off floor. The rate charged off within five years does not appear by our own threshold, as too few loans lie behind it, so it is not a zero. Neither rate is final while loans stay open.

What a borrower should test

A limited-service restaurant study should examine counter and drive-through sales, ticket size and labour margin. A fitness center study should test membership depth, churn and build-out cost. A beverage study has to test capacity, distribution and tasting-room revenue. A child care study should test licensed capacity and staffing ratios. A project in Pennsylvania is closest to the file; a project in Maryland or New Jersey has 35 loans of local precedent each. With 232 loans outside every named class, other property types must bring their own evidence, and every study should end in debt service coverage under two sets of assumptions and a value that an appraiser can support.

The weight of a small cohort

The 7.1% charge-off floor rests on 85 loans, so it moves sharply with each loan. The cancellation range of 15.7% to 18.5% rests on more approvals and is the sturdier figure. Between them, they describe 348 loans and $241.8 million held by Univest Bank and Trust Co, as SBA reports them. A borrower should not read either as the odds on a new request, and should let the study carry the evidence.

SBA loans held by Univest Bank and Trust Co

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

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.

A value marked withheld rests on fewer than 5 loans, or is withheld so that such a figure cannot be derived from other published figures.
