Ohio next to the U.S.
| Measure | Ohio | United States | Reading |
|---|---|---|---|
| Industry's share of all SBA loans | 0.83% | 1.2% | No clear gap |
| Median loan | $700,000 | $533,000 | No clear gap |
| Middle half of loans | $232,500 to $1,757,750 | $157,000 to $1,278,000 | – |
| Startups (the loan opens the business) | 12.5% | 16.8% | No clear gap |
| In business 2 years or less | 13.1% | 14.1% | No clear gap |
| In business more than 2 years | 55.6% | 59.4% | No clear gap |
| Change of ownership | 18.8% | 8.9% | Clearly higher |
| SBA Express | 16.9% | 20.4% | No clear gap |
| Lines of credit | 11.9% | 11.9% | No clear gap |
| Median term | 10 years | 10 years | – |
| Median spread over Prime at approval | 2.5 points over Prime | 2 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.

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.
