How AR Workshop SBA loans have performed
Outcomes for every funded AR Workshop 7(a) loan approved since FY2010. Each SBA loan usually finances one location, so read these as an estimate of units.
Source: SBA FOIA 7(a) loan-level data. Defaulted means the SBA purchased the guaranty (charged off, or purchased and not yet charged off). Recent loans have had less time to default, and small loan counts swing widely, so one or two loans can move these percentages a lot.

A lender being active historically doesn't mean they're the right fit for your deal size, location, or timing right now. That's where we come in, and we match your AR Workshop deal to a lender currently funding this brand.
