Investing in All of America Act of 2025

This act modifies the limit on the amount of financing available to a Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) from the Small Business Administration (SBA). It also expands the definition of private capital with respect to SBICs.

Specifically, the act reduces the maximum outstanding financing available to an SBIC from 300% to 200% of the SBIC's private capital. The act increases from $350 million to $475 million the maximum financing available to two or more commonly controlled SBICs that make quarterly or semiannual interest payments.

The act also expands the amounts that may be excluded from the calculation of the financing limit to include the amounts an SBIC invests in (1) rural areas, (2) certain technology categories, or (3) small manufacturers. The act revises the cap on such excluded amounts to the lesser of $125 million or the aggregate of 50% of the private capital of the SBIC.

Additionally, the act expands what is considered the private capital of an SBIC to include funds obtained from the business revenue of additional government-sponsored corporations and funds invested by the trust or endowment of a college or university.
