Special announcement

Senate Democrats voted to block a clean federal funding bill (H.R. 5371), leading to a government shutdown that is preventing the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) from serving America’s 36 million small businesses.

Every day that Senate Democrats continue to oppose a clean funding bill, they are stopping an estimated 320 small businesses from accessing $170 million in SBA-guaranteed funding.

As a result of the shutdown, we wanted to notify you that many of our services supporting small businesses are currently unavailable. The agency is executing its Lapse Plan and as soon as the shutdown is over, we are prepared to immediately return to the record-breaking services we were providing under the leadership of the Trump Administration.

Event description

At this training program, we will help lenders understand the SBA-guaranteed loan options available and how to use them to support their manufacturing portfolios.

We will discuss, compare, and contrast the new Manufacturers' Access to Revolving Credit (MARC) program, the Working Capital Pilot program, and legacy programs like 7(a) and 504. The target audience for this program would be bankers or credit union officers who are working with industrial or manufacturing clients and want to use SBA loans to best meet their clients' needs.

This program is produced by the Ohio SBA district offices for Ohio lenders, but all SBA lenders are welcome to attend.

We look forward to having you attend the event!
