SBA lending reports
Short answer
Each report follows SBA's quarterly loan file. The latest covers data through June 30, 2026: 13,291 7(a) loans approved in Q2 2026.
We publish one report for each quarterly loan file SBA releases. Each report covers national approvals, SBA Express, lenders, states and charge-offs, with charts and CSV files. Every figure is computed from SBA's file, with cancelled loans removed.

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 We do not publish any figure built on fewer than 5 loans. Quarterly figures compare loans by approval date. How we build these pages.
