| Median loan | $50,000 | $50,000 | No clear gap |
| Middle half of loans | $23,750 to $57,750 | $25,000 to $95,250 | – |
| Startups (the loan opens the business) | 17.5% | 30.0% | No clear gap |

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 We do not publish any figure built on fewer than 5 loans.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, 2023 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/).
