SBA PPP Loan Database & Business Leads Scraper

Export official U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program loan records as clean Apify dataset items. The source contains more than 11 million disbursed loans split across the SBA's current public FOIA files.

Each result can include borrower and project geography, NAICS, business type, reported jobs, approval and forgiveness amounts, loan status, servicing and originating lenders, demographic disclosures and use-of-proceeds fields. No SBA key, browser or proxy is required.

Scale and source freshness

The Actor discovers the current SBA file URLs from the official dataset page on every run instead of hard-coding a revision date. Files are parsed as streams, results are written in batches, and processing stops as soon as maxResults is reached. For very large extraction, split work by state, NAICS prefix or file group.

FAQ

Does it require an SBA API key? No.

Does the default input work? Yes. It exports the current over-$150K file up to the default limit.

Can it return millions of available records? The source pool exceeds 11 million. Each run is capped at 500,000 items; segment larger jobs.

Why can the forgiveness amount exceed the original approval? The Actor preserves the SBA-published values; source rules and accrued interest can affect the reported figure.

Are all borrower fields populated? No. Some fields are blank or withheld in the official FOIA release. Project geography is used as a fallback for convenient state/city output.
