Where this comes from
The SBA publishes every approved 7(a) and 504 loan under FOIA: the lender, the borrower's state, the industry code, the amount, the term and the initial rate. We indexed 4 fiscal years of it, alongside Census and BLS data. Figures on this page are as published on 2026-06-30.
This page reports approvals. It says nothing about how many applications were declined, and it is not a prediction about yours. This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
