In plain English

The SBA raises the dollar and employee numbers that decide which businesses count as small for its loan programs, and increases bonding limits to match rising prices. Check if your business qualifies under the new size standards for 7(a) loans, 504 loans, or bonding—you might now qualify for different loan or bond amounts.
