These are counts of approved loans. The data does not show applications that were declined or withdrawn, so it says nothing about approval odds, and past volume is not a forecast for any individual request.

Figures are compiled by Precise SBA from the U.S. Small Business Administration's public 7(a) and 504 FOIA loan-level data and are shown as recorded, including lender names. They describe past approvals only: they are not rates, approval odds, a ranking or an endorsement of any lender, and not a prediction for any loan. Precise SBA is not a lender and is not affiliated with the U.S. Small Business Administration. We never charge you. If a loan closes, the lender may pay us a referral fee, disclosed on SBA Form 159 (how we get paid).
