Where terms appeared most often
Commercial real estate and SBA were the desk's most productive lanes for terms. Commercial real estate had eight files reach terms or better, with five reaching approval or better and one funded. SBA had five reach terms, four reach approval or better and three funded. The commercial real estate files that reached terms ranged from $300,000 to $9.29 million. SBA terms ranged from $582,000 to $22 million, giving that lane the widest recorded size range on the desk.
Larger files and narrower lanes
The $10 million and up segment tells a more specific story. Commercial real estate had 14 files at that size, and none had reached terms in the period. SBA had three such files, with one reaching terms. Data center had 15 files at $10 million and up, with one reaching terms at $20 million. Factoring and asset based lending had four files at that size, with one reaching terms at $10 million. These counts point to activity in larger data center and factoring files, while the broader commercial real estate volume reached terms more often below that level.
What the desk record says by lane
Bridge and business acquisition files had meaningful presence on the desk, with 13 bridge files and nine business acquisition files, yet neither lane reached terms during the period. Franchise produced two term outcomes and one approval or better from seven files. Equipment accounted for four files, while forward flow and lender finance accounted for two. Other activity accounted for eight. The smaller lanes add breadth to the desk's commercial mix.
