How often do these acquisition loans fail?

Of the 31 Poured Concrete Foundation and Structure Contractors acquisition loans approved from FY2018 to FY2021 (the seasoned cohort, every loan at least about five years old), 1 have been charged off by the SBA, a rate of 3.2% by loan count and 10.3% by dollars. 18 have already been paid in full.

For comparison, the charge-off rate across all SBA 7(a) acquisition loans in the same cohort is 3.5%, so Poured Concrete Foundation and Structure Contractors is 8% lower than the acquisition-loan average. Non-acquisition 7(a) loans (every other stated purpose) approved FY2018 to FY2021 charged off at 6.2%.

Small sample: 31 seasoned loans. A single additional charge-off would move this rate by about 3.2 percentage points. Read it as a direction, not a precise figure.

"Charged off" is the SBA's final loss action on a defaulted loan after collection efforts. It lags default by a year or more, which is why only older cohorts are measured. It is not the same as a delinquency rate, and loans still outstanding can still fail. See charge-off in the glossary.
