## Michigan next to the U.S.

**Michigan compared with all loans to hotels and motels in the U.S., October 2019 to June 2026**

| Measure | Michigan | United States | Reading |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Industry's share of all SBA loans | 1.1% | 1.5% | No clear gap |
| Median loan | $1,945,000 | $2,371,000 | No clear gap |
| Middle half of loans | $880,000 to $3,175,000 | $1,302,625 to $3,800,875 | – |
| Startups (the loan opens the business) | 4.2% | 8.3% | No clear gap |
| In business 2 years or less | 37.1% | 22.5% | Clearly higher |
| In business more than 2 years | 22.4% | 34.3% | Clearly lower |
| Change of ownership | 33.6% | 33.3% | No clear gap |
| SBA Express | 3.5% | 2.9% | No clear gap |
| Lines of credit | Fewer than 5 | 1.6% | No clear gap |
| Median term | 25 years | 25 years | – |
| Median spread over Prime at approval | 1.75 points over Prime | 1.5 points over Prime | – |

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.

How to read this

Counts come from SBA's 7(a) loan-level data release, as of June 30, 2026. The file lists loans SBA approved. It does not list declined applications, so it cannot show approval odds. We do not publish any figure built on fewer than 5 loans. Industry is the NAICS code recorded on each loan. Location is the borrower's address in the file. Loans are those approved October 1, 2019 to June 30, 2026. SBA's fiscal year runs October 1 to September 30. Each figure is set against the national figure for the same period. A gap is called clear when it is large enough to matter and unlikely to be chance for this many loans. A comparison with no clear gap in the loans is not published. Express counts SBA Express and Export Express loans. Lines of credit are loans SBA's file flags as revolving. [How we build these pages](https://www.sbaexpress.loans/method/).
