What it does
The Protecting Access to Credit for Small Businesses Act would prohibit the Administrator of the Small Business Administration from directly making loans under the SBA’s 7(a) loan program, which is designed to help small businesses obtain financing. The bill affects the SBA’s lending operations by ending its role as a direct lender in this program, though it requires the Administrator to continue servicing any existing direct 7(a) loans made before the bill’s enactment. This change would shift lending responsibility to private lenders who partner with the SBA under the 7(a) program’s guaranty structure. The bill does not alter the SBA’s ability to guarantee loans made by third-party lenders.
