Abstract: Section 506 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the Recovery Act), P.L. 111-5 authorizes the Small Business Administration to guarantee loans to viable small business that have certain eligible small business loans and are experiencing immediate financial hardship. SBA is establishing a new, temporary loan program, America's Recovery Capital (ARC) to carry out this authority to assist small businesses with making timely payments on existing business debt. SBA business loan regulations (13 CFR Part 120) contain the requirements that must be met by the small business loan applicants as well as the participating lenders to be eligible for an ARC loan. SBA has created four new forms for the ARC Loan Program to collect mission critical data.
