Increased Oversight and Risk Analysis for Small Business 504 Loan Program

This new law mandates an annual, detailed risk analysis of all government-guaranteed loans under the 504 Program, which supports small businesses, often for real estate or equipment. The goal is to protect taxpayer money and ensure the program's stability by identifying potential threats, such as risk concentration in specific industries. The results of this analysis will be made publicly available online.
Key points
Mandates annual risk analysis for all loans guaranteed under the 504 Program to detect potential financial vulnerabilities early.
Detailed risk reports must include data broken down by industry, loan size, and the age of the business receiving the loan.
Increased transparency: the risk analysis results will be publicly posted on the agency's website within 7 days of submission to Congress.
