StandardsDesk SBA financing-by-industry results
Analysis date: 13 October 2026. Jurisdiction: United States, including recorded territories. Currency: USD.
Data source: U.S. Small Business Administration, FOIA snapshots as of 30 June 2026.
Periods: FY2024 (1 October 2023–30 September 2024) and FY2025 (1 October 2024–30 September 2025).
Rows: 293 programme/year/broad-sector or project-state aggregates.
The group_type column separates sector and state. Do not sum sector rows and state rows together: they are two views of the same loans.
Loan records are source rows, not unique borrowers, rejected applications, or all business lending.
Status: uppercase and remove whitespace; exclude CANCLD; retain PIF, EXEMPT, CHGOFF and undisbursed COMMIT/NOT FUNDED where present.
7(a) GrossApproval is total loan amount. 504 GrossApproval is SBA/CDC amount only; third-party financing and borrower contributions excluded.
Approved amounts are not disbursement amounts. Missing first-disbursement dates are not a definitive funding test.
Reported six-digit NAICS grouped to two-digit sectors, joining 31–33, 44–45 and 48–49. No recoding of historic NAICS vintage.
Groups have unweighted counts, exact dollar sums, median loan amounts, dollar share and record share. Shares use all retained programme-year records, including unknown groups if any.
No rejected-application denominator, industry business counts or state population adjustment: no approval-rate or easiest-financing conclusions.
Source records may be revised. FY2024 has longer follow-up than FY2025 at the same snapshot. Year-end official totals reconcile before cancellations are excluded.
U.S. Government Works licence is linked on the SBA dataset page. This clean derived table contains no borrower names or addresses.
Source URLs and access dates are in each row. Programme/year subtotals reconcile independently to recorded totals.
