Is the SBA considering increasing its guarantees for the SBA 7a loans program for loan amounts as high as $5 million?Yes. But I think only if your name is Joe or Doug.
Here's a portion of what President Obama had to say about his thoughts on changes for the SBA ...
"The first thing we need to do is increase the maximum size of various SBA loans. So I am calling on Congress to increase the cap on what's called 7(a) loans to $5 million. These are the loans most frequently handed out by the Small Business Administration to help folks open their doors and buy machinery, equipment, land and buildings. These larger loans will help more small business owners and franchisees grow. We also need to increase the maximum size of what's called 504 loans to $5 million. These are the type of loans that Joe and Doug used to expand this business and create new jobs. And we should also increase the maximum size of microloans that go to start-ups and other smaller businesses."
By the way, the expectation remains that the current SBA loan stimulus money will be exhausted by the end of 2009. Don't wait if you want to take advantage of the current higher SBA guarantees and waiver of SBA loan guarantee fees.
