Source: All SBA 7(a) data shared is based on all SBA lending from all sources and not from SBA lending through LoanBox. SBA data and reports are not from the SBA but from SBA data from the lending analytics platform developed and maintained by SBADNA Analytics.

Data Source & Methodology
The original source of SBA loan data is derived from data released by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). The SBA collects individual loan data from the SBA lender/bank approving and providing SBA loans. The SBA then makes basic loan data public through the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requirements. The SBA FOIA data is imported into the SBADNA advanced analytics platform which is then used to generate the reports and rankings
