What we don't know

  • Whether Ameris Bank is taking new SBA 504 loans today, or how it would treat a business like yours.
  • Loans that were never completed. The SBA file lists approvals, and this page leaves out the ones it marks cancelled.
  • The borrower, the address and every term beyond rate and term. The public file does not show them.

SBA loans are on record by state only. Amounts are rounded to 2 significant figures and dates to the month. A 6-digit industry code is printed only where the SBA file holds 5 or more loans of the program in that state.

SBA 504 figures count the first-lien lender on each SBA approval. Dollars are first-lien amounts.

SBA does not require you to use an agent or broker for a loan application. SBA has not reviewed or endorsed this site.

Source and date appear beside each figure. Banks report balances, not loans made. Loans made come only from HMDA and SBA files. We do not audit filings and can make errors joining them. Report a problem

Figures come from public records and show the source and date beside them. Public records can be late, incomplete or wrong. A past loan does not mean a lender will make the same kind of loan today. Confirm anything important with the lender.
