Counted from each lender's own website: a lender is listed when it describes SBA loans on a page we read and is headquartered in Alabama or names Alabama, or a county or town in it, as its service area. 18 other verified lenders that serve Alabama did not mention SBA loans on the pages we read, and 17 lenders headquartered here have no verified data yet. Not mentioned does not mean not offered. A listing is not an offer: ask the lender.
