Data source & methodology
All figures computed from the SBA Office of Capital Access FOIA dataset (7(a) loans, FY2020–present, as of 2025-12-31). Charge-off and paid-in-full rates are calculated on the FY2020–FY2023 cohort only, so loans have had time to mature. Charge-off rank covers lenders with ≥500 mature loans.
