This bill aims to improve oversight of small business loans by requiring an annual risk analysis. It helps ensure that potential risks are identified and addressed, promoting better management of the loan program.
504 Program Risk Oversight Act This bill requires the Small Business Administration (SBA) to annually conduct a risk analysis of all loans guaranteed under the 504 loan program. The 504 loan program provides long-term, fixed-rate financing to qualifying small businesses for major fixed assets, such as land, buildings, equipment, and machinery. The SBA must annually report the results of the risk analysis for each preceding fiscal year, including the steps taken by the SBA to mitigate the risks identified in the analysis.
