What you should know

Key insights derived from Comerica Bank's SBA 7(a) lending history

Regional focus: California, Texas, Michigan

Comerica Bank concentrates their SBA lending in 7 states, with 93% of activity in California (35%), Texas (31%), Michigan (26%). Regional lenders often have strong local relationships and may offer more competitive terms in their core markets.

Declining SBA activity

Comerica Bank's SBA lending has slowed recently — 9 approvals in the last 6 months vs. 20 in the prior period (-55%). This could reflect tighter credit standards, strategic shifts, or seasonal variation.

Active SBA participant

Comerica Bank has 295 SBA 7(a) approvals on record. While not among the highest-volume lenders, they maintain an active SBA program. Response times and processing experience may vary.

Typical loan: $180,000

Comerica Bank's median SBA loan is $180,000, with the middle 50% between $100,000 and $350,000. They handle a range of loan sizes without strong concentration in any single band.

Smaller loan specialist

Comerica Bank's median loan of $180,000 is well below the SBA 7(a) average. They appear to specialize in smaller loans — making them a strong option if you need under $300,000 and may face minimum-amount barriers elsewhere.

Diversified: 48 industries served

Comerica Bank lends across 48 different industry sectors with no single industry dominating. This broad experience means they can likely evaluate most business types, though they may not have deep expertise in any specific niche.
