Hearing: SBA 7(a) Budget Proposal and the Impact of Fee Structure Changes

Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Tax, and Capital Access (Committee on Small Business)

Wednesday, April 10, 2019 (10:00 AM)

2360 RHOB
Washington, D.C.
The 7(a) Loan Guaranty Program is SBA’s flagship lending program, guaranteeing more than 60,000 small business loans totaling $25.4 billion. Traditionally, the program relies on a combination of fees and recoveries of collateral on defaulted loans to operate without appropriations from Congress. However, in its budget request to Congress for FY2020, SBA predicts a funding shortfall in the program, and in response, proposes numerous fee increases to cover the shortfall. The purpose of this hearing is to provide Members the opportunity to examine the SBA’s budget and consider how the changes will impact small business lending.
