SBA's Pilot Microloan Program

This document contains the official record of a hearing before the Committee on Small Business of the U.S. House of Representatives, held on March 14, 1995, concerning the Small Business Administration's (SBA) Pilot Microloan Program. The hearing, convened during the One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session, took place in Washington, D.C.

The focus of the hearing was to examine the effectiveness and impact of the SBA's microloan program, which provides small loans to entrepreneurs and small businesses that may not have access to traditional lending sources. Witnesses provided testimony on the program's structure, its successes and challenges, and its role in fostering economic development and job creation. This hearing record offers valuable insights into the legislative oversight of small business initiatives and the ongoing efforts to support entrepreneurship at the federal level.
