Държавната инициатива за кредитиране на малкия бизнес насочва близо 10 милиарда долара федерални средства към щатски програми за гарантиране на заеми, подкрепа за обезпечения, участие в заеми, програми за достъп до капитал и рискови инвестиции, предоставяни чрез местни банки, с таван на заема от 20 милиона долара и таван от 750 служители. Това ръководство обхваща кой отговаря на условията, как SSBCI се различава от SBA 7(a), правилото за некомбиниране и петте стъпки, за да накарате участващ кредитор да запише вашия заем.

Your Business Partner Has a Green Card? Your SBA Loan Just Got a Lot Harder to Get

As of March 1, 2026, SBA 7(a), 504, and microloan applicants must be 100% owned by U.S. citizens or nationals — green card holders are excluded from any direct or indirect ownership stake.

A Lender You've Never Heard Of Just Raised $525 Million. Here's What It Means for Your Next "No" From a Bank

Forward Financing closed $525 million in new funding as alternative lenders grew from about 29% of small business lending in 2023 to roughly 41% today. What that shift means for borrowers banks reject, how to convert a factor rate to an effective APR (a 1.35 factor over 9 months is roughly 46%), and a five-point checklist to run before signing any non-bank financing offer.

On July 1, 2026, the FDIC, Federal Reserve, and OCC lowered the Community Bank Leverage Ratio from 9% to 8%, making roughly 477 more banks eligible for the simplified capital framework and freeing lending capacity at institutions under $10 billion in assets. Here is what the change means for small business borrowers — and how to keep your books loan-ready.

The SBA Just Sunset the SBSS Score — How 7(a) Small Loan Underwriting Works Now

As of March 1, 2026, the SBA eliminated the mandatory FICO SBSS score prescreen for 7(a) Small Loans of $350,000 or less, replacing the single national cutoff (most recently 165) with lender-specific credit models and a new 1.1x minimum debt service coverage ratio — here's what changed, why approval criteria now vary by bank, and how to prepare your financials before applying.
