SBIA

SBIA applauds Senate introduction of the Small Business Investor Capital Access Act led by @SenatorRounds & @SenRubenGallego. This bipartisan legislation modernizes an outdated SEC rule to reduce unnecessary compliance burdens on smaller investment funds and allow them to put more capital to work on Main Street. SBIA appreciates Sens. Rounds and Gallego, along with House sponsors @RepAndyBarr and @NydiaVelazquez, for their efforts to get this bill to @POTUS' desk. sbia.org/2026/03/16/sbi…

Great insights from @SBAgov Office of Investment and Innovation Associate Administrator Josh Carter and @simon_haidamous of Genesis Park at our Nashville conference! Small Business Investment Companies hit record investment levels in 2025 — and @SBAgov is already building on that momentum in 2026 with reforms to cut unnecessary red tape and direct more capital into critical industries like manufacturing, energy, and advanced tech.🚀

Thank you to @SBAgov Deputy Administrator Bill Briggs for joining us in Nashville to discuss the small business outlook and policy priorities for the year ahead. Under the leadership of @SBA_Kelly and @SBADeputy__Bill, @SBAgov delivered a record-setting $53B in combined private capital and SBA leverage through Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs) last year. SBIA looks forward to continuing to work with @SBAgov to advance policies that help American small businesses grow and thrive.

Since 1995, SBIC-backed businesses have created or supported 10.6 million jobs nationwide. The #InvestinginAllofAmerica Act will build on that momentum by increasing the capital available for investment in rural and low-income areas, manufacturing, and sectors critical to national security. sbia.org/investing-in-a…

The #InvestinginAllofAmerica Act modernizes the SBIC program to keep pace with today’s economy—strengthening private investment in American small businesses, with a focus on critical industries and underserved areas, while maintaining robust taxpayer protections.

By pairing private sector-led investment with @SBAgov-backed leverage, Small Business Investment Companies provide long-term growth capital that helps entrepreneurs expand, hire, and compete. See the impact in your state: sbia.org/investing-in-a…

A great sign for America’s small businesses in the year ahead!

San Francisco, New York City, Boston, San Jose, and Los Angeles receive more than two-thirds of all venture capital and private equity investment nationwide — while rural businesses receive less than 1%. The #InvestinginAllofAmerica Act modernizes the SBIC program to help expand access to long-term capital nationwide. Read more: sbia.org/investing-in-a…

The SBIC program has a decades-long track record of supporting entrepreneurs, job creation, and economic growth. The #InvestinginAllofAmerica Act builds on what works—strengthening a model that helps more small businesses access long-term investment. 100% American capital. 100% invested in American small businesses. sbia.org/investing-in-a…

Thanks to @SBAgov’s tremendous support for the SBIC program, more American small businesses are able to access the capital they need to innovate, grow, hire, and thrive. We look forward to working with you to further strengthen the SBIC program and continue the momentum in the year ahead!

The SBIC program is a proven public-private partnership that helps deliver long-term capital to America’s small businesses.

SBIA is proud of the strong, bipartisan support the #InvestinginAllofAmerica Act has received in both the House and Senate, and grateful to lead sponsors @RepMeuser, @RepScholten, @RogerMarshallMD, and @SenatorHick for their continued dedication to ensuring America’s small businesses lead the way in the global economy. sbia.org/investing-in-a…

Supporting American manufacturing, strengthening our supply chains, and driving more capital to small businesses in the heartland — that’s what the bipartisan #InvestinginAllofAmerica Act delivers. See the impact in your state: sbia.org/investing-in-a…

A huge thank you to @SBA_Kelly for joining SBIA President Brett Palmer to discuss @SBAgov’s priorities for the year ahead and the importance of the Small Business Investment Company program. @SBAgov’s record support for SBICs – reaching the largest level of investment capital in the program’s history – is helping American businesses grow, create jobs, and strengthen local communities nationwide. We are grateful for your partnership and proud to support your mission.

Small businesses create 2 out of every 3 new jobs in America. Yet far too many local businesses — especially in rural and underserved communities — still struggle to access the capital they need to grow and thrive. The #InvestinginAllofAmerica Act will help close the capital gap. Learn how: sbia.org/investing-in-a…

Small Business Investment Companies 101: What they are, how they work, and why we need the #InvestinginAllofAmerica Act: SBICs are privately managed investment funds that are licensed and regulated by @SBAgov and invest exclusively in American small businesses, with the private sector taking the lead in identifying promising opportunities and SBA providing match funding through low-cost leverage. With the SBA amplifying private investment, a powerful public-private engine for growth is fueled: ✅Driving long-term growth capital to small businesses. ✅Helping companies expand, innovate, and hire. ✅Supporting local economies with job creation in every state and region of the country. The #InvestinginAllofAmerica Act strengthens the successful SBIC-SBA partnership model so more long-term capital can flow to rural and low-income communities, U.S. manufacturers, and industries critical to national security and supply chain resilience. sbia.org/investing-in-a…
