Data and Press: Small Business Lending Charts, Statistics and Expert Commentary

RAN Funding publishes small business lending data, charts and analysis that journalists, researchers, accountants and trade publications can reuse with attribution. This page collects the embeddable charts, the statistics and rate pages they come from, and how to reach a specialist for comment on business lending, merchant cash advances, lines of credit, equipment financing and SBA lending.

What Data Does RAN Funding Publish?

Three kinds. First, charts built from public data (the Federal Reserve’s Small Business Credit Survey, the Kansas City Fed’s quarterly Small Business Lending Survey, the Fed’s H.15 release and SBA rate caps), redrawn for clarity and free to embed with a link. Second, market pages updated monthly and after every Federal Reserve decision: business loan interest rates by product, business funding statistics, approval rates by product and lender type, and the effect of the prime rate on business loan pricing. Third, practitioner commentary: RAN Funding’s specialists place business files with banks, SBA lenders, online lenders, equipment lenders, factors and revenue-based funders every week and can speak to what lenders are approving, at what price, and how that is changing, in English or Spanish.

  • Merchant cash advances: pricing, stacking, state disclosure laws and how owners get out.
  • Equipment financing and Section 179 before year end.
  • Seasonal and tariff-driven working capital needs for retailers, contractors, manufacturers and distributors.

A note on this article. RAN Funding is a business financing broker, not a lender and not the SBA. This guide explains published program rules and typical lender practice, not a personalized loan offer. Your lender determines eligibility, fees, timing and final terms. Confirm every cost in a written offer before committing.
