What this means for a borrower
- Half of the 7(a) loans approved in Montgomery County were between $50,000 and $551,850, and the median was $200,000, 33% above the Pennsylvania median of $150,000. A request well above $551,850 would be larger than three in four 7(a) loans recorded here.
- 40.4% of 7(a) loans here were under $150,000 (Pennsylvania: 47.3%).
- 504 loans were 6.4% of the loans counted here (Pennsylvania: 7.0%), with a median 504 amount of $697,000.
- 95 lenders (counted by name as recorded in the data) approved at least one 7(a) loan here. The 10 most active by count made 60.4% of 7(a) loans, so 7(a) lending here is concentrated among a small group of lenders.
- 7(a) approvals went from 94 in FY2020 to 239 in FY2025, up 154%.
- The sector with the most loans was Construction (14.2% of loans), followed by Health Care and Social Assistance (12.3%).
These are counts of approved loans. The data does not show applications that were declined or withdrawn, so it says nothing about approval odds, and past volume is not a forecast for any individual request.
