SBA 504 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.
Central Minnesota Development Company, based in Andover, Minnesota, is a certified development company (CDC) that makes SBA 504 loans. SBA approved 118 of its 504 loans worth $115M in FY2021 to FY2025, which places it 67th of 182 active CDCs by number of approvals.
In FY2025, the latest complete fiscal year, it had 25 approvals totalling $27.6M. FY2026 to 30 Jun 2026 adds 20 more.
The median approval was $604K, against $657K for the 504 program as a whole; 1.7% of its approvals were for $150,000 or less (program: 4.6%).
Its loans went to businesses in 6 states and territories and 26 counties, led by Minnesota (94.9%), North Dakota (1.7%) and Arizona (0.8%). The largest industry group was manufacturing at 19.5% of approvals, and 5.1% of approvals were to franchise businesses.
Of 207 disbursed loans approved in FY2010 to FY2021, SBA records 1 as charged off (0.5%), 95 as paid in full and 111 still outstanding; the 504 program figure for the same approval years is 1.2%, so the rate here is close to 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.
