SBA 7(a) loan approvals by fiscal year, where they went, how large they were, and how loans from earlier years turned out.

In FY2021 to FY2025 SBA approved 471 7(a) loans, worth $536M, through HomeTrust Bank of Asheville, North Carolina, an FDIC-insured bank in the SBA 7(a) program. By number of approvals that is 83rd among 2,184 active 7(a) lenders.
In FY2025, the latest complete fiscal year, it had 77 approvals totalling $74.3M, about level with FY2024 (79). FY2026 to 30 Jun 2026 adds 51 more.
The median approval was $817K, against $190K for the 7(a) program as a whole; 4.7% of its approvals were for $150,000 or less (program: 47.8%).

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.
