FUNDING ALERT: U.S. TREASURY QUIETLY UNVEILS DETAILS ON A NEW $100 BILLION
SMALL-BUSINESS AID PROGRAM


THE STATE SMALL BUSINESS CREDIT INITIATIVE IS A FUNDING PROGRAM THAT AIMS TO
BROADEN ACCESS TO CAPITAL FOR UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES.

Just when you thought all of those small business aid programs were over.

This week, the U.S. Department of Treasury posted guidance for its newly
reauthorized State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI), which is a federal
small business aid program that's been around since 2010 but is set to
be replenished by the $1.9 trillion federal coronavirus relief stimulus package
enacted in March. This latest iteration of the program is expected to kick off
with a new tranche of $10 billion in funding as soon as next year, though the
exact timeline of when businesses can see these funds will vary by state. The
Treasury estimates that the program could wield as much as $100 billion in
overall lending authority over seven years.

Rather than seeding businesses directly, states, U.S. territories, the District
of Columbia, and Native American tribes must apply for funding, which then flows
to participating lenders. States and territories are required to use at least 90
percent of their fund allocation for loans, investments, and other support for
small businesses headquartered in the same state. Tribal governments must adhere
to the in-state requirement as well. However, they have leeway in the following
scenarios: If a tribe is located in multiple states, if it's located on a
border, or if a tribe is located in one state but has treaty rights in another.

Eligible small businesses and startups--typically defined as companies with 500
or fewer workers--may secure loans or investments as they normally would through
their bank, community lender, or equity investor. Funds can be used for
everything from startup costs and hiring employees to franchise fees and
equipment purchases. Many businesses in the past have used funds to expand
operations, which can include purchasing new buildings or securing lines of
credit.



Interest rates and loan terms are up to the lenders, though the program must
adhere to minimum borrower protections, so businesses aren't paying excessive
interest fees on their loans. Though the program doesn't offer any grants, it's
not entirely composed of lending either. The SSBCI also allows for states to set
up venture capital programs.



While it's not technically a pandemic program like the Paycheck Protection
Program, the SSBCI does account for hardship in its funding determinations. The
formula for aid includes a state's number of jobs and job losses compared to the
national level of jobs and job losses. After being approved, states can receive
up to three installments of federal funding.



The SSBCI is expected to feature different funding tiers. For instance, the
states, territories, and Washington, D.C. can expect about $6 billion coming
their way--depending on eligibility--while another $500 million is allotted for
Native American tribes. A fourth of total funds, or $2.5 billion, will be set
aside for certain jurisdictions with an eye toward reaching socially and
economically disadvantaged business owners. The jurisdictions themselves may
also be rewarded if they're successful in reaching businesses. There's also $500
million carved out for businesses with as many as 10 employees, while another
$500 million is set aside to provide technical assistance to small businesses
applying for small business support programs.

The program expects to generate $10 in private investment for each dollar in
federal funding.

Among the goals of the SSBCI is to get money into the hands of business owners
from underserved communities, which have historically faced inequities when
accessing capital and other resources, says Wally Adeyemo, the deputy secretary
of the Treasury. "The pandemic only deepened that divide," he adds.

The effort, once it launches, could serve as something of a last bastion for
small business aid, as other pandemic-era loan programs have wrapped up or will
expire soon.
