Strengthening Oversight and Risk Management for Small Business 504 Loans

This law enhances the supervision of companies (Certified Development Companies) that provide loans under the SBA 504 program, which helps small businesses finance major assets like real estate and equipment. It mandates random file reviews and introduces new environmental compliance rules, aiming to protect the program from losses and ensure its long-term stability. For small businesses, this means a more secure and transparent lending environment.
Key points
Mandatory random file reviews of 504 loan closings are introduced to ensure lending companies follow program rules and integrity standards.
The SBA gains stronger enforcement powers, including the ability to fine lending companies up to $250,000 for serious or frequent violations.
New rules must be issued to clarify how lending companies comply with environmental protection laws (NEPA) when processing loans.
