he Small Business Administration is trying to make its financing portfolio more alluring for lenders and entrepreneurs, even though it's simultaneously increasing fines as a result of inflation.
The SBA is set to release a new line of credit of up to $5 million for individual businesses in the forthcoming months as part of a novel working capital pilot program. The line of credit will be backed by the government and is meant to broaden the agency's financial products for more borrowers to tap into.
