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](https://www.sbaexpress.loans/sba-express-lenders/colony-bank/) made in [California](https://www.sbaexpress.loans/california-small-business-loans/) 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. Startups (the loan opens the business), share of loans, Oct 2019 to Jun 2026 - California: 0.0% - All its U.S. loans: 5.5% We compared 8 measures with the national figure for the same period, and this is the one that differs clearly. The table compares every measure. ## California next to the U.S. **California compared with all of Colony Bank's U.S. loans, October 2019 to June 2026** | Measure | California | All its U.S. loans | Reading | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Lender's share of all SBA loans | 0.33% | 0.32% | No clear gap | | Median loan | $150,000 | $150,000 | No clear gap | | Middle half of loans | $116,450 to $150,000 | $130,975 to $350,000 | – | | Startups (the loan opens the business) | 0.0% | 5.5% | Clearly lower | | In business 2 years or less | 15.0% | 14.0% | No clear gap | | In business more than 2 years | 83.5% | 75.5% | No clear gap | | Change of ownership | Fewer than 5 | 4.9% | n/a | | SBA Express | 11.8% | 11.8% | No clear gap | | Lines of credit | 0.0% | Fewer than 5 | No clear gap | | Median term | 10 years | 10 years | – | | Median spread over Prime at approval | 3 points over Prime | 3 points over Prime | – | 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.

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.
