SBA and Treasury Announces PPP Transparency Enhancement

On June 19, 2020, the SBA and Treasury agreed with U.S. Senate Small Business Committee bipartisan leadership to make public additional data regarding the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). This agreement will ensure that the interests of both transparency and protections for small businesses are served.
U.S. Secretary of Treasury Steven T. Mnuchin stated, “I am pleased that we have been able to reach a bipartisan agreement on disclosure which will strike the appropriate balance of providing public transparency, while protecting the payroll and personal income information of small businesses, sole proprietors, and independent contractors.”
SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza stated, “We value transparency and our fiduciary responsibility to ensure American taxpayer funds are used appropriately. This responsibility goes together with the steps we are now taking to provide needed public information while protecting entrepreneurs’ personally identifiable information, such as a home address associated with their business loan.”
The SBA will disclose the business names, addresses, NAICS codes, zip codes, business type, demographic data, nonprofit information, jobs supported, and loan amount ranges as follows:

  • $150,000-350,000
  • $350,000-1 million
  • $1-2 million
  • $2-5 million
  • $5-10 million

These categories account for nearly 75 percent of the loan dollars approved. For loans below $150,000, totals will be released, aggregated by zip code, by industry, by business type, and by various demographic categories.
PPP data disclosed to date can be found here.
