Some states do not have enough loans to show. Those cells say so.

The file only covers SBA 7(a) loans labeled change of ownership, so it leaves out cash, seller-note and bank deals.

Read the methodology for filters, dates and known gaps.

SBA changed industry codes in 2022. The same industry can appear under an old code (loans to FY2022) and a new code (loans from FY2022). Each page shows only its own code, so neither shows the full history.
