SBA unveils new working capital loan program

The Small Business Administration is rolling out a new structured line of credit that aims to offer more flexibility to lenders and small-business owners.

The 7(a) Working Capital Pilot Program would use a fee structure similar to the agency’s existing Export Working Capital Program and its SBA Express loans offering, under which there are no fees for loans under a certain amount but gradually scale up as the loan gets larger.
