Milestone Bank
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.
Milestone Bank (Salt Lake City, Utah) is an FDIC-insured bank in the SBA 7(a) program, 330th of 2,184 by approvals in FY2021 to FY2025: 94 loans worth $135M.
In FY2025, the latest complete fiscal year, it had 54 approvals totalling $76.6M, up 145% on FY2024 (22). FY2026 to 30 Jun 2026 adds 55 more.
The median approval was $850K, against $190K for the 7(a) program as a whole; 2.1% of its approvals were for $150,000 or less (program: 47.8%).
Its loans went to businesses in 26 states and territories and 71 counties, led by Florida (21.3%), Texas (18.1%) and Colorado (10.6%). The largest industry group was accommodation and food services at 36.2% of approvals, and 36.2% of approvals were to franchise businesses.
Of 35 disbursed loans approved in FY2010 to FY2021, SBA records 8 as charged off (22.9%), 25 as paid in full and 2 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
Only loans approved at least five fiscal years ago (FY2010–FY2021) are counted, because newer loans have had little time to be paid in full or charged off. "Charged off" is SBA's status for a loan on which it has written off the remaining balance.
