Record-Breaking Growth in Manufacturing Loans
According to a recent SBA report, manufacturing loans have seen an extraordinary 74% increase in 7(a) loan approvals compared to previous years. Since January 2025, over 1,120 7(a) loans have been approved for manufacturers, totaling an impressive $677 million in funding.
"This surge in manufacturing loan approvals represents a tremendous opportunity for small manufacturing businesses looking to expand operations or upgrade equipment," says Nick Granger, SBA Specialist at FastWay SBA. "We're seeing firsthand how these loans are transforming small manufacturing operations across the country."
Why This Matters for Your Manufacturing Business
Manufacturing continues to be a cornerstone of the American economy, with nearly 99% of American manufacturers classified as small businesses. The SBA's flagship 7(a) loan program offers these businesses crucial support through:
- Equipment financing for modern machinery
- Real estate acquisition for expanded facilities
- Working capital including revolving credit lines
- Business expansion funding
The recent Made in America Manufacturing Initiative aims to cut $100 billion in regulatory red tape and increase capital access for manufacturers specifically.
