Reading the record
What Community 1st Bank Las Vegas’s numbers say
Community 1st Bank Las Vegas sits in the long tail of the SBA lending field, having approved 75 loans for a gross total of $9.5M since fiscal 2010. Its median loan of $56,000 is well below the $180,000 national median, typical of a lender leaning on SBA Express and smaller working-capital facilities.
The median initial note rate across its 7(a) approvals is 7.38%, 0.63 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, 4.3% were charged off, 3.2 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 22% of its approvals with a recorded business age went to startups or businesses two years old or less, against 27% nationally.
