Using the MRFR total as an anchor, and applying a plausible small-business share (roughly 15–20%) and then narrowing to government-backed programs (a subset focused on guarantees, microloans, SBA-style programs and disaster financing), I estimate the government-backed small-business lending market at about $80B.
