Reading the record
What California Business Bank’s numbers say
California Business Bank sits in the long tail of the SBA lending field, having approved 27 loans for a gross total of $22.5M since fiscal 2010. Its median loan of $720,000 is substantially larger than the $180,000 national median, which usually signals a focus on real-estate-backed or acquisition deals rather than small working-capital notes.
The median initial note rate across its 7(a) approvals is 6.00%, 0.75 points below the national median of 6.75%. Rate medians drawn across fifteen years reflect the mix of loan sizes and vintages a lender wrote as much as its pricing posture - a lender that grew fastest during a high-rate stretch will look expensive here even if its spread was ordinary.
Roughly 0% of its approvals went to businesses the SBA classified as new rather than existing, against 11% nationally - a book weighted toward established operators.
