Reading the record

What Northwest Community Bank’s numbers say

Northwest Community Bank sits in the long tail of the SBA lending field, having approved 35 loans for a gross total of $10.5M since fiscal 2010. Its median loan of $100,000 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 5.25%, 1.50 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 48% of its approvals with a recorded business age went to startups or businesses two years old or less, against 27% nationally - a meaningfully greater appetite for startups than the average SBA lender.
