SBA Acquisition Data

SBA acquisition loans by state

Where SBA-financed business purchases happen, ranked by loan count. Each state page breaks acquisitions down by industry and lender, shows the state's median deal and charge-off rate against the national figures, and links to state-by-industry pages (for example, restaurants in Texas) where there are enough loans to report.
