What this tells a borrower
- Deal size it funds. Half of its acquisition loans fell between $243,750 and $1,115,750. If your deal sits well outside that band, this lender may be less practiced at it.
- Geographic reach. Minnesota is the largest state (76% of loans). Loans appear in only 3 states, which points to a regional lender.
- Industry concentration. Home Health Care Services is 10% of its acquisition loans. The mix is spread across several industries.
- Overall 7(a) volume. 186 SBA 7(a) loans of any purpose since FY2020, totaling $108M. 83% of its acquisition loans were processed under the Preferred Lenders Program.
- Franchise share. 17% of its acquisition loans involved a franchise brand, against 18% for all lenders.
- Seasoned performance. Too few of its loans are old enough to measure a charge-off rate.

How often do these acquisition loans fail?
Fewer than 20 Minnwest Bank acquisition loans are old enough to measure losses reliably, so no charge-off rate is shown. The benchmark across all SBA acquisition loans in the FY2018 to FY2021 cohort is 3.5% by count. Non-acquisition 7(a) loans (every other stated purpose) approved FY2018 to FY2021 charged off at 6.2%.
"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.
