Last week, I was featured in the Philadelphia Business Journal in an article titled “SBA Loan Demand Dips as Changes Make Borrowing Harder for Some.”
It’s absolutely true that recent SBA changes are making it harder for many entrepreneurs to qualify for financing. But harder access does not necessarily mean weaker demand.
At MultiFunding, we see no evidence that business owners need less capital. If anything, many are simply being pushed toward more expensive alternative lending options as SBA financing tightens.
That distinction matters. The issue may not be declining demand for SBA loans — it may be declining access to affordable capital.
