The average approval of $249,563 sits well above the median of $101,200, pulled up by a few larger deals, so the median is the better guide to what a typical borrower here gets. Only 17.1 percent of approvals run on real estate terms, so SBA credit here is mostly working capital and equipment rather than property acquisition.
