The article reports that loans backed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) are on the upswing, as of January 2017. Topics include the rise in the total amount lent by the New York area's top 50 SBA lenders, the loans made by First Home Bank in 2016, and First Home's total lending amount in excess of 10 million U.S. dollars which is enough to qualify it for a bronze award from SBA's New York district office.
