The Family Business Loan Program is a public-private partnership between the City of Austin, HUD, and participating private lenders to offer low-interest loans to qualified small businesses that are expanding and creating jobs.

The dataset exists to observe the entrepreneurial activity of Austin over a long time period. The data comes from the U.S. Census County Business Pattern table and is capturing data at the Travis County level. It contains the cumulative count of firms by employee size and count of firms by employee size by industry. This data can be used to see changes of employer growth by industry; to project where workforce growth could be occurring; or to simply see how many small businesses there are in Austin.
