Despite the economic downturn and recession, we’ve had one of our best years to date at Bay Colony! Our track record of success is proof that New England’s small businesses are thriving and helping bring our country out of the worst economic conditions in recent history. Check out some of our 2009 statistics:
- In Bay Colony’s 28-year history, the SBA has only declined two of our loans, the last one being six years ago.
- In FY 2009, which ended 9/30/09, SBA 504 Loan volume experienced a 27% nationwide decline. Bay Colony recognized a 93% increase in loan volume for this same period and had the second largest year-over-year dollar volume increase in the country.
- In FY 2009, during a recession, SBA 504 Loan volume still exceeded $195,000,000 in New England alone.
- Most loans are fully approved in less than 2 weeks, usually before the bank has reached a final decision.
- Our loan volume for the quarter ending 12/31/09 is on pace to be one of, if not the biggest quarter in Bay Colony’s 28 year history.
