The U.S. Department of the Treasury has announced the launch of the new State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI), aimed at providing small businesses with the resources they need to sustainably grow and thrive. Building on the success of its predecessor, the new SSBCI is expected to catalyze up to $10 of private investment for every $1 of SSBCI capital funding. This injection of capital will help increase access to capital for traditionally underserved small businesses and entrepreneurs.
Supporting Local Market Conditions
Through the SSBCI, jurisdictions will provide funding to small businesses through various programs tailored to local market conditions. These programs include equity/venture capital programs, loan participation programs, loan guarantee programs, collateral support programs, and capital access programs. The goal is to ensure that small businesses have access to the financial resources they need to succeed.
The Treasury, recipient jurisdictions, and the Minority Business Development Agency at the U.S. Department of Commerce will also provide technical assistance to improve access to capital, particularly for traditionally underserved entrepreneurs.
