Top SBA lenders in Nebraska
Ranked by SBA loans funded in Nebraska since FY2010. Each lender's figures, including its 7(a) charge-off rate, cover its Nebraska loans only. Charge-off is reported on 7(a) loans, never on 504 loans, so a lender without a reliable 7(a) sample in Nebraska shows “not reported,” never 0%.
