Largest PPP loans in Illinois
Each figure is what SBA approved a borrower across its Paycheck Protection Program loans, as SBA published it, and says nothing more about the borrower. 100 of the 569,128 borrowers in Illinois are listed: every one ranked in the top 100, with ties, led by $10,000,000.
The 100 borrowers SBA approved the most, in Illinois · 2020–21
What this data cannot show
- Borrowers approved the same amount share a rank, and every borrower ranked in the top 100 is listed, so the list can be longer than 100.
- A borrower is a name and an address exactly as SBA printed them, so a business that moved, or whose name SBA spelled two ways, is two borrowers, and neither total is the business’s whole.
- The amount is what SBA approved, summed over a borrower’s loans: a first draw, a second, or both. It is not what was forgiven or repaid, which each borrower’s page shows loan by loan.
- The state is the one on the borrower’s own address, not where SBA recorded the business as operating.
- SBA’s record as of September 30, 2024.
