LIONs Act of 2025
The LIONs Act of 2025 increases the maximum loan amounts available through two key Small Business Administration (SBA) programs. It raises the cap for standard 7(a) loans from $3.75 million to $7.5 million (with a $10 million ceiling), and doubles the maximum for development company loans from $5 million to $10 million. This bill directly affects small businesses seeking SBA financing for operations, expansion, or equipment, allowing them to access larger loans. The changes simplify access to capital by removing previous funding limits for qualifying businesses.
