The Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Office of Capital Access (OCA) is responsible for managing the agency’s loan programs, which provide guarantees for short- and long-term loans on reasonable terms for small businesses who cannot access credit elsewhere. OCA therefore plays a key role in the nation’s entrepreneurship atmosphere. This hearing presents Members an opportunity to assess the current Office and program operations, as well as assess the agency’s efforts to increase access to affordable capital for all and to promote a more equitable economy.
