SBA Reorg: What Lenders Need to Know & More | June 16, 2025 | SBA Today

Wednesday, June 17, 2026 • Duration 29:21

This week on SBA Today, Paul and Tonya break down the major agency updates including:

🏢 Agency-Wide Reorganization: The SBA is centralizing core operational units into specialized "centers of excellence" to cut redundancies and lower overhead costs.
📩 Policy Inbox Tracking: While email addresses remain exactly the same, all future policy inquiries will now be assigned a unique Case Reference Number for standardized tracking.
⛪ New Specialized Outreach: The agency has officially launched a new Office of Rural Affairs and a Center for Faith to expand capital and counseling access to underserved communities.
🛒 $30M Grocery Milestone: The enhanced 90% Grocery Guarantee approved 19 loans totaling over $30 million in its very first month, averaging $1.57M per deal. How do you think this structural shift will impact your pipeline's turnaround times over the next few months?

The $10M Combined Cap Reminder + Myths That Kill Deals | June 9, 2026

Wednesday, June 10, 2026 • Duration 23:38

This week on SBA Today, Paul and Tonya are tackling:

⏳ The Countdown to $10M: The historic $10M combined 7(a) and 504 loan limit officially takes effect on July 4, and lenders are actively structuring deals now.
🛑 The Sourcing Trap: Many borrowers assume creative deal structures or unverified assets satisfy equity rules, only to watch their deals freeze during final source-of-funds verification.
⚖️ Creative ≠ Compliant: There is a massive gap between what a lender finds acceptable and what the SBA will actually guarantee.
📜 What "Good" Equity Looks Like: Tonya maps out the clear boundaries between problematic funds and acceptable capital—proving that equity isn't just about money, it's about the paper trail.

How are you and your team preparing your pipeline for the upcoming July 4th limit changes?

May 1st CHANGES Every Lender Should Know | SBA Today | April 8, 2025

Wednesday, April 8, 2026 • Duration 23:13

This week on SBA Today, Paul and Tonya are breaking down:

📉 BayFirst Data: Analysis shows SBA guaranty purchases exceeded original amounts by $3.5 Million.
🏭 The 90% Guarantee: Starting May 1st, the International Trade Loan (ITL) expands to a 90% guarantee for manufacturers (NAICS 31–33) to modernize and reshore production.
🍎 Grocery Guarantee: That same 90% guarantee now extends to the entire food supply chain—from farming and ranching to grocery retailers—to fight price pressures.
🛠️ Onshoring Tools: Use the new "Make Onshoring Great Again" Portal to connect with over one million domestic suppliers.

The Bottom Line: The SBA is supercharging domestic production. If you're lending in manufacturing or ag, the game changes May 1st.
