This week, @POTUS signed the Investing in All of America Act into law - strengthening the SBIC program and unlocking more private capital for rural businesses, small manufacturers, and critical industries.

Thank you @RepMeuser for your work to expand access to capital for those who are driving America’s comeback!

We’re grateful to Investing in All of America Act sponsors @RepMeuser, @RepScholten, @RogerMarshallMD, and @SenatorHick, along with House and Senate Small Business Committee leaders @SenJoniErnst, @SenMarkey, @RepRWilliams & @NydiaVelazquez, for all of their efforts to get the bill signed into law. More capital flowing to America’s small businesses means more jobs, more growth, and more opportunities across the country.

Expanding access to capital for small businesses requires smart, bipartisan policy.

The Investing in Main Street Act is a strong step forward—unlocking more investment through the SBIC program to support growth, job creation, and local economies.

In FY2025, the SBIC program reached a record $53B in capital deployed to small businesses across the country.

SBIA’s 528 member firms helped build that record.
We’re proud to represent them. #NationalSmallBusinessWeek #SBIC

[SBIA @SmallBusinessPE]

Strong leadership matters when it comes to expanding access to capital.

Thank you @RepAndyBarr and @NydiaVelazquez for advancing the Small Business Investor Capital Access Act—modernizing outdated rules so more capital can flow to American small businesses. #NationalSmallBusinessWeek #SBIC

[SBIA @SmallBusinessPE]

SBIA is incredibly grateful for Sen. @RogerMarshallMD's leadership in getting the Investing in All of America Act passed by Congress. As Sen. Marshall notes in his Wichita Eagle op-ed:

“Access to capital is another major challenge. Rural and low-income communities across Kansas are often left behind when investment decisions are made. Our Investing in All of America Act helps change that by unlocking private investment for rural communities, manufacturers, and growing industries. It does this without new taxpayer spending by encouraging investment where it is needed most.” https://t.co/r65q8BUu5z

SBICs have created or sustained 10.6 million jobs since 1995—including ~110,000 in FY2025 alone.

That’s what access to capital looks like: jobs, careers, and stronger communities. #NationalSmallBusinessWeek #SBIC

[SBIA @SmallBusinessPE]

Small businesses need access to capital to grow and compete.

The Investing in All of America Act modernizes the SBIC program to expand that access and strengthen investment in communities across the country.

Thank you to @SenatorHick, @RogerMarshallMD, @RepMeuser, and @RepScholten for leading. #NationalSmallBusinessWeek #SBIC

[SBIA @SmallBusinessPE]

Since 1958, SBICs have invested $140 billion in small businesses across America.

That’s capital going to manufacturers, healthcare providers, and local employers that anchor communities.

Small businesses are the engine. Lower middle market investors are the fuel. #NationalSmallBusinessWeek #SBIC

[SBIA @SmallBusinessPE]

The lower middle market doesn’t always get attention—but it should.

It’s the manufacturers, logistics firms, and service companies that power the American economy.

SBIA’s 528 member firms invest in their growth. #NationalSmallBusinessWeek #LowerMiddleMarket

[SBIA @SmallBusinessPE]

Passed the House. Passed the Senate. Now headed to the President’s desk.

The Investing in All of America Act is a bipartisan legislative victory for small businesses across the country. This bill modernizes the Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) program so more private growth capital can reach the communities that need it most – including rural areas, manufacturers, and industries critical to our national security. All at zero new cost to taxpayers.

A special thank you to the U.S. Senate champions who helped make this happen: @SenatorHick @RogerMarshallMD

This bill is ready for the President’s signature.

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. https://t.co/MoIckQO8MS

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.🚀

[SBIA @SmallBusinessPE]

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.

[SBIA @SmallBusinessPE]

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.
