SBA 7(a) loan approvals by fiscal year, where they went, how large they were, and how loans from earlier years turned out.
SBA approvals by fiscal year. The federal fiscal year runs 1 October to 30 September, so FY2025 is 1 October 2024 to 30 September 2025. *FY2026 is open: approvals to 30 Jun 2026 only.
In FY2021 to FY2025 SBA approved 65 7(a) loans, worth $28.2M, through Avidia Bank of Hudson, Massachusetts, an FDIC-insured bank in the SBA 7(a) program. By number of approvals that is 432nd among 2,184 active 7(a) lenders.
In FY2025, the latest complete fiscal year, it had 20 approvals totalling $6.6M. FY2026 to 30 Jun 2026 adds 3 more.
The median approval was $290K, against $190K for the 7(a) program as a whole; 30.8% of its approvals were for $150,000 or less (program: 47.8%).
Its loans went to businesses in 4 states and territories and 12 counties, led by Massachusetts (90.8%), Connecticut (6.2%) and Rhode Island (1.5%). The largest industry group was accommodation and food services at 20.0% of approvals, and 16.9% of approvals were to franchise businesses.
Of 165 disbursed loans approved in FY2010 to FY2021, SBA records 17 as charged off (10.3%), 95 as paid in full and 53 still outstanding; the 7(a) program figure for the same approval years is 6.6%, so the rate here is above it.
Loan status is as recorded by SBA at the data date; charge-off rates are computed on loans approved at least five fiscal years ago. Jobs supported are self-reported estimates from the SBA loan application, which SBA does not review, audit or validate. Loans appear under the lender they are assigned to today, so a lender's figures include loans it took over. Data through 30 Jun 2026.

How earlier loans turned out
