Reading the record

What Centerstone SBA Lending, Inc.’s numbers say

Centerstone SBA Lending, Inc. sits solidly inside the SBA lending field, having approved 629 loans for a gross total of $849.0M since fiscal 2010. Its median loan of $907,000 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 8.00%, 1.25 points above 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.

Of its FY2010-FY2019 approvals that have reached a terminal status, 0.0% were charged off, 7.6 points below the national figure of 7.6%. Read that as a description of the credit box a lender chose, not as a verdict on it: lenders serving newer businesses and thinner files will always show higher losses than those writing large, collateralised acquisition loans.

Roughly 9% of its approvals went to businesses the SBA classified as new rather than existing, against 11% nationally.
