MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. — TD Bank has once again ranked No. 1 for the ninth consecutive year in total approved U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) loans across its Maine-to-Florida footprint for the SBA’s 2025 fiscal year.
During the SBA’s 2025 fiscal year (Oct. 1, 2024–Sept. 30, 2025), TD approved 3,412 SBA 7(a) loans and issued roughly $486 million in financing within its regional footprint. The bank also posted the top 7(a) loan unit rankings in Maine, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, South Carolina, South Florida and Vermont, and ranked No. 5 among SBA lenders nationwide.
Tom Pretty, Head of SBA Lending at TD Bank, said the firm focuses on delivering tailored financing that helps small business owners grow amid changing economic conditions. He noted TD’s role in guiding customers through evolving SBA programs and broader market shifts.
TD emphasizes combining capital with advisory support. The bank highlights its expertise in SBA financing for startup franchises, new medical practices, business acquisitions, partner buyouts and owner-occupied commercial real estate.
Chris Ward, Head of U.S. Small Business Banking at TD Bank, said the continued East Coast leadership
reflects customer trust in the bank’s ability to simplify financing and unlock growth for small businesses.
A client example underscores that point. Gabrielle Ferrara, COO of Ferrara Manufacturing in Long Island City, credited TD’s SBA knowledge and Preferred Lender status for enabling the company’s expansion. The firm acquired and renovated a new 50,000-square-foot facility to meet rising demand, and Ferrara said TD’s guidance was instrumental throughout the process.
Pretty added that TD has increased SBA lending to a more diverse set of businesses and that the bank’s teams remain prepared to support entrepreneurs seeking capital.
TD Bank is among the 10 largest U.S. banks by assets, serving more than 10 million customers with retail, small business and commercial banking products across about 1,100 locations in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Metro D.C., the Carolinas and Florida. The organization also provides vehicle financing through TD Auto Finance and wealth services via TD Wealth.
Headquartered in Mount Laurel, N.J., TD Bank is a U.S. subsidiary of The Toronto-Dominion Bank, which trades on the New York and Toronto stock exchanges under the ticker symbol TD. For more information, visit www.td.com/us.
