| --- | --- | --- |

A line of credit lets a business draw money, repay it and draw again. SBA's file flags these loans as revolving.

What SBA Express means

An SBA Express loan can be up to $500,000. On these loans, the lender makes the credit decision without prior SBA review.

## Starting rates and spread over Prime

The median starting rate on this lender's loans approved from October 2023 to June 2026 was 11.00%. For all lenders it was 10.25%.

The starting rate follows Prime on the day a loan was approved. The spread over Prime is the steadier way to compare lenders and years. Spread is measured on variable-rate loans only.

SBA's ceiling on variable rates

For variable-rate loans, SBA caps the rate at Prime plus 3.0 to 6.5 percentage points, depending on loan size. Today's ceilings by loan size are on the [rates page](https://www.sbaexpress.loans/rates/).

## Loans by year

From FY2024 to FY2025, the number of loans fell 45% (40 to 22). Across all lenders it rose 2.4%.

SBA loans approved by fiscal year

- FY2022: 9
- FY2023: 23
- FY2024: 40
- FY2025: 22
- FY2026 (through June 30): 12

SBA's fiscal year runs October 1 to September 30. FY2026 covers October 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026 only. Fewer than 5 marks a year whose count we do not publish.

## Charge-offs

33: Loans approved FY2020 to FY2022

Fewer than 5: Charged off

3.6%: All lenders, by loans

Montana Community Development approved 33 loans from October 2019 to September 2022. By June 30, 2026, fewer than 5 had been charged off. We show no rate, because a rate beside a group of known size would give the count away. For all lenders, 3.6% of loans had been charged off.

How charge-offs are counted

We count only loans approved October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2022 (FY2020 to FY2022). Newer loans have not had time to go bad. A charge-off means the lender wrote the loan off as a loss. The rate by loans is charged-off loans divided by approved loans. The rate by dollars is the charged-off balance divided by approved dollars. Both run through June 30, 2026.

The two rates can differ widely for a lender that writes many small loans. A small loan adds one to the count but little to the dollars.

SBA's file covers approved loans only. This says nothing about how often applications are approved.
