Largest lenders in Utah

Ranked by loans into this state since FY2016. A lender headquartered elsewhere still counts. The SBA market is national, and several of the largest lenders in most states are based nowhere near them.

What gets funded here

Loan count by NAICS industry, whole record. Shares are of all 39,812 loans in Utah, which is why they are small: SBA lending in any state spreads across hundreds of trades, and no single one of them is close to dominant.

What borrowers here pay

Typical pricingPrime + 2.50
Median rate 10.00%Fixed 8%2,595 loans

Median initial rate on Utah 7(a) loans approved FY2024 onward, against a market median of Prime + 2.75. That is about what the market typically prices. It is the rate at approval, not an offer, and says nothing about fees.

A state prices dear or cheap mostly because of what gets borrowed there, not where it is. Markets whose lending skews to small loans sit higher. How SBA pricing works →
