SBA Lender Ranking
FreeSBA 7(a) or 504 lenders ranked by dollars approved in a federal fiscal year.
About this dataset
SBA Lender Ranking is a Free dataset in the Industry & Macro group of the BankRegReports Data API. It is sourced from SBA 7(a) and 504 loan data.
SBA 7(a) or 504 lenders ranked by gross approval in one federal fiscal year (October to September), top 50. Cancelled and not-funded loans are excluded. `charge_off_share` is the 0-1 share of that year's loans charged off as of the file date, so recent years read low. `lender_type` is Bank, Lender not matched to a bank, or Certified Development Company.
