Made in America Manufacturing Finance Act of 2025
S 1555, the Made in America Manufacturing Finance Act of 2025, increases loan limits for qualifying small manufacturers under two federal programs. It defines a "small manufacturer" as a business primarily in U.S. manufacturing sectors 31-33 (like automotive or electronics) with all facilities located in the United States. The bill doubles the maximum loan amount under the Small Business Act's Section 7(a) from $3.75 million to $7.5 million for these manufacturers, and raises the Small Business Investment Act's limit from $5.5 million to $10 million. These changes directly affect U.S.-based small manufacturing businesses seeking expanded access to federal loans for operations and growth.
