President Donald Trump signed into law on May 19 legislation that increases the capital available to small businesses. The Investing in All of America Act passed both chambers of Congress unanimously.
The act increases the capital available through Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs). The companies raise private capital that is matched by the Small Business Administration. The law restores an inflation adjustment for SBIC leverage limits and allows investments in rural and low-income areas, manufacturing, and critical technologies to be excluded from SBIC’s leverage cap.
In the United States, 99 percent of manufacturers are classified as small businesses.
U.S. Rep. Dan Meuser (R-PA) introduced the bill.
“Rep. Meuser’s Investing in All of America Act of 2025 is a huge win for Main Street America. Small businesses across the nation and in critical technology sectors will benefit from increased funding from the SBIC program, which in turn will fuel small business growth,” Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX), House Committee on Small Business chairman, said. “I thank President Trump for signing this bill into law and continuing his America First agenda. I commend Rep. Meuser for continuing to fight for the small business owners who are the backbone of our economy.”
The bill has the support of the Small Business Investor Alliance.
