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 9,021 7(a) loans, worth $1.16bn, through Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company of Buffalo, New York, an FDIC-insured bank in the SBA 7(a) program. By number of approvals that is 7th among 2,184 active 7(a) lenders.
In FY2025, the latest complete fiscal year, it had 2,701 approvals totalling $294M, up 47% on FY2024 (1,832). FY2026 to 30 Jun 2026 adds 2,169 more.
The median approval was $50K, against $190K for the 7(a) program as a whole; 83.6% of its approvals were for $150,000 or less (program: 47.8%).
Its loans went to businesses in 20 states and territories and 262 counties, led by New York (33.0%), Maryland (21.6%) and Pennsylvania (11.0%). The largest industry group was construction at 16.1% of approvals, and 4.4% of approvals were to franchise businesses.

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.
