Summary
What This Bill Does
Amends the Small Business Investment Act to modify leverage limits for Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs), increasing caps for certain debenture-type companies and excluding investments in rural areas, low-income communities, critical technology sectors, and small manufacturers from leverage calculations.
Who Benefits and How
Small businesses in rural and low-income areas gain increased access to SBIC investment capital. Critical technology companies and small manufacturers benefit from expanded SBIC investment capacity. SBICs gain higher leverage limits and exclusions for qualifying investments.
Who Bears the Burden and How
SBA bears administrative burden of implementing new leverage calculations and monitoring compliance. Taxpayers bear increased exposure risk from higher SBIC leverage.
Key Provisions
- Reduces standard maximum leverage to $200M (from $300M) but increases to $250M for quarterly/semiannual interest payment companies
- Excludes rural area, low-income geographic area, critical technology, and small manufacturer investments from leverage limits
