- Which lenders are most active in computer and software stores?
- By dollars approved: Wells Fargo Bank, PNC Bank, California Bank of Commerce, Truist Bank, CDC Small Business Finance Corp.. A lender's experience in your NAICS code matters - underwriters who have seen a hundred deals like yours ask better questions and move faster.

- Of FY2010-FY2019 approvals in this industry that have reached a terminal status, 9.9% were charged off, versus 7.6% across all SBA lending. That is materially above average, which in practice tends to mean tighter underwriting, more collateral, or a larger equity injection.
