This site is not Colony Bank

sbaexpress.loans is not Colony Bank, and Colony Bank did not provide, review or pay for this page. Janover Capital LLC runs this site. Every figure on this page comes from SBA's public 7(a) loan file, not from Colony Bank.

These are the 127 SBA 7(a) loans Colony Bank made in California approved October 2019 to June 2026. Each figure is set against all of its loans in the U.S. over the same period. State is where the business is, not where the lender is based. The file lists loans SBA approved, so it shows what the lender has done and not what it will do for you. Every state page for this lender uses this same period, so the pages can be compared with each other.

How Colony Bank differs in California

What this means for you. If yours is a new business, Colony Bank funded startups less often here than it did elsewhere, so ask early whether a lender funds new businesses.

Startups

None of the 127 loans in California went to startups, where the loan opens the business, against 5.5% of its loans nationally.

Clearly higher and clearly lower mark a gap large enough to matter and unlikely to be chance for this many loans. Spread over Prime is the rate at approval minus Prime that day, so it is not today's rate. Rows with a dash are shown for reference.

What Colony Bank lends to in California

The 4 industries below account for 26 of the 127 loans approved October 2019 to June 2026, or 20.5%. An industry is listed when it has 5 or more of them, five at most.

How to read this

Counts come from SBA's 7(a) loan-level data release, as of June 30, 2026. The file lists loans SBA approved. It does not list declined applications, so it cannot show approval odds. We do not publish any figure built on fewer than 5 loans. A lender's past loans do not describe its current credit policy. Location is the borrower's address in the file. Loans are those approved October 1, 2019 to June 30, 2026. SBA's fiscal year runs October 1 to September 30. Each figure is set against the national figure for the same period. A gap is called clear when it is large enough to matter and unlikely to be chance for this many loans. A comparison with no clear gap in the loans is not published. Express counts SBA Express and Export Express loans. Lines of credit are loans SBA's file flags as revolving. How we build these pages.
