North Texas Certified Development Corporation, based in Plano, Texas, is a certified development company (CDC) that makes SBA 504 loans. SBA approved 208 of its 504 loans worth $259M in FY2021 to FY2025, which places it 46th of 182 active CDCs by number of approvals.
In FY2025, the latest complete fiscal year, it had 37 approvals totalling $57.9M, about level with FY2024 (38). FY2026 to 30 Jun 2026 adds 30 more.
The median approval was $851K, against $657K for the 504 program as a whole; 1.0% of its approvals were for $150,000 or less (program: 4.6%).
Its loans went to businesses in 2 states and territories and 40 counties, led by Texas (99.5%) and Nebraska (0.5%). The largest industry group was health care and social assistance at 20.7% of approvals, and 13.5% 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.
