It made 43 loans in 2025, down 31% from 62. Similar lenders, lenders of the same type making between half and twice as many loans, grew 2%, and the whole market 10%. Its fall was larger than about nine in ten of them. Yet its dollar total barely moved, $10.0 million against $10.5 million, because its typical loan rose to $175,000 from $80,000. Fewer small loans, rather than less lending, is one plausible reading.
