AmiSight 10/16: SBA Reports Highest Lending Volume in Agency History for FY 2025

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced that it will close Fiscal Year 2025 with the most capital ever delivered to small businesses. According to the agency, the SBA guaranteed 84,400 small business loans totaling $44.8 billion, marking the highest lending volume in its history. That figure includes 77,600 loans through the 7(a) program worth $37 billion and 6,750 loans through the 504 program totaling $7.8 billion.

The SBA said it now guarantees an average of 1,600 small business loans per week, totaling $860 million, or 320 loans per workday, totaling $170 million. The agency’s performance also reflects major internal changes. Earlier this year, the SBA reduced its workforce by 43% and implemented stricter underwriting standards to curb defaults and delinquencies that occurred in FY 2024 under the Biden Administration.
