SBA Releases 2025 Annual Report

The SBA released its 2025 annual report. Some of the key accomplishments are:

Delivering Historic Capital

SBA delivered record capital to small businesses in FY25, guaranteeing 85,000 7(a) and 504 small business loans for a total of $45 billion, while the agency’s Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) Program ended the year with a record $53 billion in portfolio volume.

Enhancing Efficiency

An SBA-wide reorganization reduced the agency’s workforce by over 50%, while cost-cutting measures eliminated about $300 million in annual spending – as the agency eliminated wasteful spending and ended the expansive social policy agenda of the Biden Administration.

Rebuilding American Industry

SBA launched the Made in America Manufacturing Initiative, focused on rebuilding American industry through small businesses to create good-paying jobs and bring supply chains back home.

Eliminating Fraud

SBA implemented full citizenship and age verification checks on all loan applications, launched a full-scale audit of our 8(a) Business Development Program, and began pursuing an estimated $200 billion in pandemic-era fraud – working with law enforcement to put criminals behind bars and reclaim stolen taxpayer dollars.

Cutting Regulations

SBA helped eliminate over $100 billion in red tape and launched a new Deregulation Strike Force to eliminate costly Biden-era regulations and lower prices for business owners and consumers alike.

Putting Veteran and Rural Entrepreneurs First

SBA expanded field-based outreach, cleared contracting certification backlogs for veterans, reduced discriminatory DEI contracting goals, and delivered targeted capital, counseling, and contracting in partnership with agencies like USDA and USDOL45 billion
