SBA Lending
SBA Financing Growth
Small Business Administration financing is attracting the attention of lenders, borrowers, and the media, as the primary source of owner-user financing for commercial real estate. “The volume of new SBA-backed loans has risen more than 20% since mid-March, with more than $1.3 billion in new loans approved, according to Karen Gordon Mills, the new SBA administrator…The increase is mainly the result of two rule changes in March that temporarily cut fees for small-business borrowers and increased the maximum guarantee put up by the federal government on some small-business loans to 90% from 85%.” (WSJ 5/5/09)
