Where the records come from
83 government feeds in 32 states: 15 statewide, the rest a city or county. Everywhere else, SBA loan approvals, kept as background.
A few times a month a franchise restaurant sold through FranBizNetwork, our own brokerage, is added too. It is our sale record, not a government filing, and the row says so.
