Source and method

Our SBA studies are built on loan level SBA 7(a) and 504 records, the same public disbursement data the SBA releases, loaded into the PeerSense data warehouse and analyzed on fully resolved loans. Each study page shows its own methodology and loan counts so any figure can be checked. PeerSense is a capital advisory firm. Talk to PeerSense. The capital source sets the terms. Talk to PeerSense.
