Methodology & data source

This page includes calendar Q2 2026 only. Loan-level SBA 7(a) FOIA approvals are filtered by ApprovalDate; loans from every other quarter in the extract are ignored. Dollar volume is GrossApproval. Lender identity is grouped by FDIC certificate or NCUA charter when present, otherwise by a normalized lender name. Industry cuts use 2-digit NAICS sectors (31–33 manufacturing, 44–45 retail, and 48–49 transportation are collapsed). Geography uses ProjectState / ProjectCounty (where the funded project is located), not the lender headquarters. ZIP rankings use BorrZip (borrower mailing ZIP), which can differ from the project county. Rows without a positive GrossApproval or parseable ApprovalDate are excluded from all rollups. Missing NAICS codes are bucketed as Unclassified. This dataset contains approved loans only — it cannot support an approval-rate statistic. Individual borrower names and addresses are not published.

Coverage

373,981 loans in the FOIA extract fell outside Q2 2026 and were ignored in this view.

Within Q2 2026, no rows were dropped for missing GrossApproval, lender identity, NAICS, or project state. Unclassified NAICS (if any) remain in totals and are labeled explicitly.

  • Only Q2 2026 approvals are published on this page. Other quarters in the FOIA CSV are dropped before ranking.
  • SBA updates the FOIA extract quarterly; drop the new CSV in src/app/documents/sba7aloandata/ and re-run npm run sba-lending:build.
  • Franchise names are sparse; brands with fewer than 10 loans in the quarter (3 in a state cut) are omitted from the franchise table.
  • County drill-downs cover the top project counties in a state. ZIP tables are top borrower ZIPs, not a full ZIP census.
