Industry SBA intelligence

Return SBA 7(a) intelligence by industry: loan volume, typical acquisition loan size, observed rates, and cohort failure rates. Use this for loan-size benchmarks and risk when the user is evaluating a business in a particular sector.

Input

Example call

Output

A JSON array or object of records (the same shape as the matching public REST endpoint), wrapped in the standard envelope below with canonical_url, data_freshness, methodology, source_summary, caveats, and citation.

Example response

Every result is wrapped in the standard CapBench envelope — same canonical_url, data_freshness, methodology, source_summary, caveats, and citation as the REST API.

Caveats

• Figures are estimates computed from public records — verify before relying on them in a transaction.
• Rankings and rates follow the linked methodology; small samples are flagged or excluded.
