These are counts of establishments physically operating in the county, not listings, so they are the supply side a feasibility study measures demand against. County Business Patterns counts private establishments with paid employees in March 2023, while the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages above counts every unemployment-insured employer, public ones included, as a 2024 annual average, so the two establishment and employment counts differ.

The average approval of $414,885 sits well above the median of $150,000, pulled up by a few larger deals, so the median is the better guide to what a typical borrower here gets. Only 9.4 percent of approvals run on real estate terms, so SBA credit here is mostly working capital and equipment rather than property acquisition.

SBA loan default and charge-off rates in Suffolk County

Do SBA loans in Suffolk County get paid back?

  • Loans with a final outcome recorded379
  • Paid in full296
  • Charged off83
  • Charge-off rate on resolved loans21.9 percent
  • Status: Exempt from disclosure1,535
  • Status: Paid in full296
  • Status: Charged off83
  • Status: Cancelled330
  • Status: Committed, not yet disbursed150

Of the 379 loans that have reached a final outcome, 21.9 percent were charged off. This is computed only over resolved loans, because a loan still running has not yet succeeded or failed and counting it either way would be wrong.

Compare against the national and state SBA charge-off rates, computed the same way over resolved loans only.

A further 82 of the county's 2,394 SBA 7(a) approvals are to borrowers in cities that match no Census place in Suffolk County, the largest being Farmingdale (58), Speonk (3), Greenvale (2). Those are postal cities, unincorporated areas and cities outside the county, so no place row claims them; they are counted in the county total above.
