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.
Genesee Regional Bank (Rochester, New York) is an FDIC-insured bank in the SBA 7(a) program, 257th of 2,184 by approvals in FY2021 to FY2025: 136 loans worth $61.7M.
In FY2025, the latest complete fiscal year, it had 24 approvals totalling $12.1M, about level with FY2024 (23). FY2026 to 30 Jun 2026 adds 14 more.
The median approval was $225K, against $190K for the 7(a) program as a whole; 40.4% 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 New York (97.8%), Pennsylvania (0.7%) and North Carolina (0.7%). The largest industry group was manufacturing at 17.6% of approvals, and 4.4% of approvals were to franchise businesses.
Of 300 disbursed loans approved in FY2010 to FY2021, SBA records 5 as charged off (1.7%), 251 as paid in full and 44 still outstanding; the 7(a) program figure for the same approval years is 6.6%, so the rate here is below 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.
