The Small Business Administration maintains the Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) database. As a small business registers in the System for Award Management, there is an opportunity to fill out the small business profile. The information provided populates DSBS. DSBS is another tool contracting officers use to identify potential small business contractors for upcoming contracting opportunities. Small businesses can also use DSBS to identify other small businesses for teaming and joint venturing.

This dataset contains non-personally identifiable (non-PII) data from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Disaster Loan Program for Superstorm Sandy. Following a declared disaster, the SBA provides disaster assistance in the form of low-interest, long-term disaster loans for damages not covered by insurance or other recoveries to businesses of all sizes, private nonprofit organizations, as well as homeowners and renters. For more information about the SBA Disaster Loan Program, please visit www.sba.gov/disasterassistance. This dataset includes raw, unedited data from SBA’s Disaster Credit Management System (DCMS) which may have been entered directly by disaster survivors and as such is subject to human error. Additionally, the dollar values in the data set may not reflect subsequent changes to verified losses or approved loan amounts. SBA adjusts damages and loan amounts as needed based on the availability of new or corrected information. For example, verified loss and approved loan amounts may be increased later if new damages are discovered or the cost of repairs increase during the rebuilding project. Similarly, loan amounts may be decreased if the disaster survivor receives additional recoveries from insurance or grant assistance which duplicate SBA’s assistance, thereby decreasing the overall loan eligibility. This dataset is not intended to be an official Federal report, and should not be considered as such.

Increasingly policymakers are looking to the small business sector as a potential engine of economic growth. Policies to promote small businesses include tax relief, direct subsidies, and indirect subsidies through government lending programs. Encouraging lending to small business is the primary policy objective of the Small Business Administration (SBA) loan-guarantee program. Using a panel data set of SBA-guaranteed loans we assess whether SBA-guaranteed lending has an observable impact on local and regional economic performance.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) was founded in 1953 to assist small businesses in obtaining loans. Small businesses have been the primary source of employment in the United States. Helping small businesses help with job creation, which reduces unemployment. Small business growth also promotes economic growth. One of the ways the SBA helps small businesses is by guaranteeing bank loans. This guarantee reduces the risk to banks and encourages them to lend to small businesses. If the loan defaults, the SBA covers the amount guaranteed, and the bank suffers a loss for the remaining balance.

There have been several small business success stories like FedEx and Apple. However, the rate of default is very high. Many economists believe the banking market works better without the assistance of the SBA. Supporter claim that the social benefits and job creation outweigh any financial costs to the government in defaulted loans.

The Data Set

The original data set is from the U.S.SBA loan database, which includes historical data from 1987 through 2014 (899,164 observations) with 27 variables. The data set includes information on whether the loan was paid off in full or if the SMA had to charge off any amount and how much that amount was. The data set used is a subset of the original set. It contains loans about the Real Estate and Rental and Leasing industry in California. This file has 2,102 observations and 35 variables. The column Default is an integer of 1 or zero, and I had to change this column to a factor.
