State Small Business Credit Initiative Transactions 2011-2016

Transaction-level data from the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) program covering all 50 states and U.S. territories from its 2011 inception through December 31, 2016. The dataset categorizes transactions by five approved program types and includes fields such as total financing amount, federal dollars expended, transaction date, and business details like industry and zip code. It was reported annually to the Department of the Treasury by participating states.

Use Cases

• Analyze the distribution of total financing amount and federal dollars expended across the five SSBCI program types (Capital Access, Collateral Support, Loan Guarantee, Loan Participation, Venture Capital).
• Map federal small business support by aggregating transaction data by business zip code and industry fields.
• Track annual trends in transaction dates and Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) counts of recipient businesses to assess program impact over time.
• Compare the utilization of federal dollars across different SSBCI program types and geographic regions.

Strengths

• Covers a complete 5+ year time range from program inception in 2011 through 2016.
• Includes data from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and five U.S. territories, providing national coverage.
• Categorizes transactions into five distinct, approved federal program types for structured analysis.

Limitations

• Data is static and ends in 2016, lacking recent transactions and limiting analysis of current program performance.
• Available only in PDF format, which complicates automated extraction and analysis compared to structured formats like CSV.
• Specific row count, column count, and sample data are unavailable, making initial assessment of data volume and granularity difficult.
