CLINTON, N.J., Jan. 26, 2016 -- Unity Bank topped all Small Business Administration (SBA) lenders in New Jersey during the year that ended September 30, 2015, providing $41,769,400 in SBA loans, a loan volume increase of nearly 147 percent from the prior year’s total of $16,914,500. Unity Bank and other lenders will be honored during the SBA New Jersey District Office awards reception on Jan. 28th.
Unity’s total number of SBA loans grew by 50 percent, increasing from 26 to 39. The bank’s average loan size rose by nearly 74 percent, increasing from $650,558 to $1,128,903.

Unity participates in the 7(a) Loan Program, SBA’s primary program to help start-up and existing small businesses obtain financing when they might not be eligible for business loans through normal lending channels. The bank also participates in the SBA 504 Loan program, an economic development program that offers small businesses long-term, fixed-rate financing used to acquire fixed assets for expansion or modernization. Unity Bank is consistently among the top 10 of New Jersey SBA lenders in loan volume. The program also serves parts of Pennsylvania and is expanding into New York.
