SBA introduces new working capital loan program with unique fee structure

U.S. Small Business Administration Launches 7(a) Working Capital Pilot Program

The U.S. Small Business Administration is set to launch a new pilot program that aims to provide small-business owners with greater flexibility in obtaining working capital. The 7(a) Working Capital Pilot Program will offer a structured line of credit with an innovative fee structure, reducing the cost of loans with shorter maturities.

SBA Administrator Isabel Casillas Guzman highlighted the importance of working capital for small businesses, especially in a higher interest rate environment. The program is designed to meet the specific needs of businesses by offering transaction-based and asset-based loans, allowing for easier access to working capital for projects, orders, and asset utilization.

The program will also support both domestic and international sales under one facility, providing small businesses with the resources needed to expand their operations. Additionally, small businesses participating in Home Energy Rebate programs will benefit from increased capacity through the program.

With the launch of the 7(a) Working Capital Pilot Program later this year, small-business owners and lenders can expect a new and improved way to secure working capital for growth and operational needs. Stay tuned for more details as the program rolls out in the coming months.
