Texas Small Business Credit Initiative

On March 11, 2021, the U.S. Congress enacted the American Rescue Plan Act, which, in part, provides $10 billion to fund the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI). Administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, this initiative is the second installment of the program originally passed under the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010.

The objective of SSBCI is to support state programs that provide resources to assist small business growth and create new jobs through increased access to small business funding. In addition, the program will assist small businesses that are traditionally marginalized and those that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Texas Small Business Credit Initiative is expected to be allocated more than $472 million and the State of Texas is focused on staying apprised of the latest program information released by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

For more information, please visit the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s website. Additional guidance, forms, and other resources with information about the SSBCI program will be posted as details are available.

Note: The State of Texas is currently awaiting SSBCI application approval from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Following approval, program documentation, including submission guidelines, will be made available via the TSBCI web portal, which will also be open to accept applications from financial institutions interested in participating in the program.
