    Unpacking the NEW ITL Rules for Trucking with Joe Raycraft (SBA) | April 28, 2026 | SBA Today

    This week on SBA Today, Paul and Tonya are joined by Joseph Raycraft (SBA) to break down the latest updates from the 7(a) Connect Call—specifically the massive expansion of the "Grocery Guarantee" into the logistics sector. The 7(a) Connect Call Highlights: 🛣️ 90% Trucking Guarantee---local and non-local trucking is now eligible for a 90% guarantee, provided the business is food-related and carries the correct NAICS code. 🍎 Food Service Focus---the new ITL Program expansion is laser-focused on food service and supply chain resilience. 🔄 Change of Ownership---the SBA is actively exploring ways to improve the Change of Ownership process while strictly managing portfolio risk. 📞 Connect Call Value---this week's call emphasized that staying updated on these niche eligibility requirements is the only way for lenders to remain competitive. The Bottom Line: The 90% guarantee is a powerful tool for the logistics sector, but as Joe explains, the "food-related" requirement is the gatekeeper. Ensure your NAICS codes align before you commit to the deal. 🛠This episode is sponsored by SBA Collective — empowering community banks and credit unions to compete and win in SBA lending.

    This week on SBA Today, Paul and Tonya are talking about: 🆕 New 7(a) Leadership---welcoming Emily Doxzon as the new Chief of 7(a) Loan Origination for the Office of Capital Access.  🍦 Franchise Lending Challenges---how the sunsetting of the SBA Score may make it harder for lenders to justify the time and effort required for startup franchise deals. 📊 Small-Dollar Performance---analyzing lender reports that show while large loans are performing, the real struggle remains in the small-dollar loan space. 📞 7(a) Connect Call---a friendly reminder that the next call is today, Tuesday the 21st, at 3:00 PM Eastern. If you aren't on these calls, you're missing the pulse of the industry.  What do you think?
