Senate CR Surprises, Capacity Threats, & Secondary Market Secrets | August 11, 2026 | SBA Today

This week on SBA Today, Paul and Tonya are pulling apart a few lines buried inside Washington legislation that could have a very real impact on SBA lending. 🏛️ The Senate CR — The Senate passed a Continuing Resolution Saturday morning. But there are a few words tucked inside it that caught our attention. 🚦 An "Apportionment Anomaly" — Sounds riveting, right? 😂 Turns out, if you're an SBA lender, borrower, broker, or anyone waiting for a loan to close…you may want to know what this means. 💰 Can SBA actually "run out" of lending authority? — There's more than one way capacity can become an issue, and the distinction matters. 🎭 Behind the Curtain — What does the secondary market have to do with any of this…and why should a borrower care about something they may never even see? Sometimes the biggest SBA news isn't the headline. It's the few lines buried underneath it.  🛠This episode is sponsored by SBA Collective — empowering community banks and credit unions to compete and win in SBA lending.  Disclaimer: The views expressed on this show are our own and not necessarily the views of our employer.
