Small Business Investment Companies-Request for Comments on Credit and Risk Management Issues

Resumo

The Small Business Administration (SBA) has identified two issues that potentially affect SBA's ability to make recoveries from a small business investment company (SBIC) that performs poorly and poses a credit risk to SBA. The Agency seeks public input on how SBA should address its credit concerns regarding these two issues: SBICs with unsecured lines of credit, and the determination of "equity capital investments" when calculating an SBIC's capital impairment percentage.
