SBA Lending Statistics State-by-State 2019

During 2018, the Small Business Administration (SBA) funded more than 66,000 loans through the 7(a) and 504 programs.

Interestingly, SBA lending in 2018 primarily supported fast food and fitness franchises.

Note: The following SBA statistics are based on our analysis of the most recent SBA loan data available, which is from 2018.

What SBA Statistics are Included in Our Evaluation

The SBA loan statistics include the number of loans made, the total dollar amount of those loans, and the top SBA lender for each state. Additionally, we evaluated loans by industry, including the number of jobs supported in the corresponding sector. Further statistics include the number of SBA franchise loans, as well as the top franchise in the state.

The primary SBA loan statistic data and small business industry data that we have collected and reported is broken down into 12 primary key data points. Each data point, definition, calculation method, and source are provided below.

The SBA loan statistics and small business industry statistics for each state and territory are:

SBA Loan Statistics on Loan Originations & Defaults

For each state and territory, we evaluated key SBA loan statistics. This included such factors as the total number and dollar amount of loans originated in 2018, along with the average interest rate and loan term. We also evaluated the average default rate in each state and territory for loans originated from 2010 to 2018.

  • Top lender for SBA loans approved in 2018: With thousands of SBA lenders nationwide, we identified the top lender in each state for 2018. If you are looking for an SBA loan, this lender will be well-versed in the processes involved with getting an SBA loan approved. The best SBA lender for the state was determined by the number of SBA loans originated by that lender in 2018.
  • Number of SBA loans approved in 2018: This represents the number of SBA loans made in the state in 2018, using data provided by the Small Business Administration. The value includes all SBA 7a loans and SBA Express loans that were approved during the fiscal year.
  • Dollar amount of SBA loans approved in 2018: The total dollar amount of SBA loans made in 2018 is based on data directly from the Small Business Administration. The value represents the total dollar amount of loans approved in fiscal year 2018. Because this value is based on approval date, rather than funding date, it is possible that some loan funds were not actually expended until fiscal year 2019.
  • Average interest rate of SBA loans approved in 2018: The average interest rate for all SBA loans made within the state in 2018. This value is based on data directly from the Small Business Administration.
  • Average loan term of SBA loans originated in 2018: The average loan term (in years) for all SBA loans made within the state in 2018. This value is based on data directly from the Small Business Administration.
  • Average default rate of SBA loans originated from 2010 to 2018: The percentage of SBA loans made within the state between 2010 and 2018 that have resulted in default. This figure is based on the number of loans that the SBA has coded as canceled or charged off divided by the total number of loans made in the state.

SBA Statistics on Top Industries and Jobs Supported

In our analysis of SBA statistics, we included an evaluation of the top industries supported by SBA loans, as well as the number of jobs created by these loans. This included comparing how many loans were originated for the top NAICS codes, and comparing this data to how many businesses within those industries exist in the state or territory. It also included evaluating how many jobs SBA loans supported compared to how many people are employed by small businesses in the state or territory.

The SBA statistics on industries and jobs we evaluated include:

  • Top NAICS code for SBA loans originated from 2010 to 2018: The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is used to classify businesses for the purpose of collecting statistical data. Based on data provided from the SBA, the top NAICS code and industry is representative of the most frequently loaned to industry between 2010 and 2018.
  • Number of jobs supported by SBA loans in 2018: This value represents the cumulative sum of the number of jobs that the SBA borrowers reported would be benefited, or created, by the SBA loan that they received. This data was taken directly from reporting by the Small Business Administration.
  • Number of jobs supported by SBA loans from 2010 to 2018: This value represents the cumulative sum, from 2010 through 2018, of the number of jobs that SBA borrowers reported would be benefited, or created, by the SBA loan that they received. This data determined based on reports directly from the Small Business Administration.
  • Number of people employed by small businesses in the state: This value represents the number of people in the state that are employed by small businesses. Small businesses are defined as individual businesses employing less than 500 people. The data is based on 2016 U.S. Census reporting.

NAICS Industry and Sector Codes

SBA Statistics on Franchises

In our analysis of SBA statistics, we included an evaluation of franchise loans in the state. This included evaluating the number of franchise SBA loans made from 2010 to 2018. It also included reviewing the top franchises in terms of SBA loan originations for the same time period.

If you’re interested in evaluating franchise success and failure rates, in a separate study, we evaluated the 50 best and 50 worst franchises by SBA default rate.

The SBA statistics on franchises included in our analysis by state are:

  • Number of franchise SBA loans made from 2010 to 2018: The number of franchise loans is based on the number of SBA loans that went to finance franchises in the state throughout the time period from 2010 through 2018, as determined from data provided from the Small Business Administration.
  • Top franchise by state based on loans originated from 2010 to 2018: The top franchise for each state was identified based on SBA data for the time period from 2010 through 2018. The identified franchise received the greatest number of SBA loans during that time period.

SBA Statistics By State

As noted, we have compiled numerous SBA loan statistics and small business industry statistics for each state, and U.S. territory. These statistics include the SBA lender for each state, the total dollar amount of SBA loans provided to the state, and the average interest rate and loan terms.

Additional statistical information is provided for each state regarding the top small business employment industries, the number of entities, and the number of people employed in those sectors. Further data detailing the number of people that are employed by small businesses within the state, and broken down into small business size (based on number of employees) is also provided.
