Does the SBA have a consolidated list of regional 7a microloan data, with numbers of how much each bank is handing out, or is this information only available on regional office websites? Doesn't look like there are too many helpful contacts...

Data is pretty heavily protected for 7a and 504 loans. Comprehensive data is not accessible to public; only accessible to SBA employees. Data is obtained by contact under service by Dun & Bradstreet. See this book, page 16 [https://books.google.com/books?id=RYzbIVP39RoC&pg=PA15&lpg=PA15&dq=comprehensive+sba+loan+data+504&source=bl&ots=_MmL5oLWQY&sig=-0geLuDHvCRTLXwRQDSSIFnnY0E&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjw_ffdjsPJAhWPrIMKHThGBBcQ6AEINzAD#v=onepage&q=comprehensive%20sba%20loan%20data%20504&f=false| SBA book on google books]
