An SBA 7(a) or 504 loan is a federally guaranteed small-business loan; the SBA publishes every approved loan, including the approval date and the term, in a quarterly FOIA release. Scouly computes a maturity year as approval date plus disclosed term. A loan reaching maturity puts a dated decision in front of the owner, refinance or sell, which is why the maturity year is a timing signal for buyers.

80 of the 783 Connecticut small businesses Scouly tracks with a disclosed SBA 7(a) or 504 term reach maturity between 2026 and 2028. Maturity is computed as approval date plus the term the SBA discloses, so it is a scheduled date rather than a confirmation the loan is still outstanding.
The SBA publishes every approved 7(a) and 504 loan in a quarterly FOIA release at data.sba.gov, including borrower name, city, approval date, amount and term. Scouly parses that release, joins it to state business registries, and computes a maturity year. Nothing here is private or scraped.
$397,000 at the peak of each borrower's SBA history. That is a loan amount a lender underwrote, not a valuation or an asking price, so treat it as a floor on the deal size the business could support rather than an estimate of what it is worth.
