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
