Sources and method
WithFunded News collects public information a small business owner would otherwise have to look for in a dozen places. This page says where each piece comes from.
Headlines
Headlines are read from the public news feeds of U.S. government agencies and Federal Reserve Banks, checked every 20 minutes. We show the headline, the date and, for federal agencies, a short excerpt. Every headline links to the original on the publisher's own site, and we do not rewrite or republish the articles. Items older than about four months are dropped.

Price indicators
Indicators are official statistics published by the Federal Reserve Board, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Energy Information Administration. We read them through FRED, the data service of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, every three hours. Each indicator page names its series and links to it.
Price indexes are shown as their change over 12 months. The SBA 7(a) maximum rates are calculated from the latest prime rate and the spreads in federal regulation (13 CFR 120.214); they are legal ceilings, not offers.
Official figures are often revised after first release, and a daily series can lag by a business day or more. Each number shows the date it refers to.
What this site is not
