SBA 504 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.
Racine County Economic Development Corporation, based in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, is a certified development company (CDC) that makes SBA 504 loans. SBA approved 113 of its 504 loans worth $95.0M in FY2021 to FY2025, which places it 70th of 182 active CDCs by number of approvals.
In FY2025, the latest complete fiscal year, it had 21 approvals totalling $20.7M, up 50% on FY2024 (14). FY2026 to 30 Jun 2026 adds 20 more.
The median approval was $560K, against $657K for the 504 program as a whole; 0.9% of its approvals were for $150,000 or less (program: 4.6%).
Its loans went to businesses in 3 states and territories and 20 counties, led by Wisconsin (98.2%), Georgia (0.9%) and Michigan (0.9%). The largest industry group was accommodation and food services at 21.2% of approvals, and 13.3% of approvals were to franchise businesses.
Of 119 disbursed loans approved in FY2010 to FY2021, SBA records 0 as charged off (0.0%), 56 as paid in full and 63 still outstanding; the 504 program figure for the same approval years is 1.2%, 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.
