SBA Loans to Minorities–Approval Analysis

The graphs on this page offer some analytics of SBA loans approved under both the 7(a) guaranty and CDC/504 program that were identified as involving business owners who are identified by their ethnicity. These statistical results have been published by SBA back to FY 2009, and SBFI will update these statistics with graphics annually.

The various ethnic categories charted below represent the majority of statistics provided by the SBA, but certain categories were combined due to space limitations and relative low reported lending volumes in these categories. For example, ‘Hispanic’ and ‘Puerto Rican’ categories were combined into one “Hispanic” category; ‘American Indian,’ ‘Eskimo or Aleut,’  ‘Multi-Group’ and ‘Undetermined’ categories were combined into “Other.”
