The SBA guaranteed 3,314 loans through its flagship 7(a) Loan Guaranty Program for a total of $557 million.
The Certified Development Company/504 Loan Program was front and center this year and posted its best year ever with 636 projects totaling $869 million in loans supported. The temporary refinancing provision which expired in September, was partially responsible for the record year.
