Maryland next to the U.S.

|---|---|---|---|
| Industry's share of all SBA loans | 2.0% | 1.4% | No clear gap |
| Median loan | $50,000 | $80,800 | No clear gap |
| Middle half of loans | $25,000 to $200,000 | $30,000 to $250,000 | – |

| In business 2 years or less | 21.6% | 17.2% | No clear gap |
| In business more than 2 years | 56.0% | 56.6% | No clear gap |
| Change of ownership | Fewer than 5 | 6.2% | n/a |
| SBA Express | 65.5% | 42.5% | Clearly higher |
| Lines of credit | 34.5% | 22.5% | No clear gap |
| Median term | 10 years | 10 years | – |

Clearly higher and clearly lower mark a gap large enough to matter and unlikely to be chance for this many loans. Spread over Prime is the rate at approval minus Prime that day, so it is not today's rate. Rows with a dash are shown for reference.
