#SBAintheField - SBA leaders from the SBA Great Lakes Region and SBA Indiana District Office and SBA Michigan District Office recently joined their federal and state counterparts for a Q & A session at the 2026 Indiana Meat Processors & Packers Association/Michigan Meat Association Convention in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Panel members answered questions on available capital for growth and restrictive regulation relief from an audience of small business owners in the meat processing industry. SBA officials educated convention goers on the agency’s programs, emphasizing how SBA lending - including the new MARC loan - is flexible, can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the borrower, and can be stacked with funds from other sources helping small businesses achieve their growth and expansion goals. The meat processing industry accounts for more than 1.3 million jobs and an estimated $82 billion in economic impact across the Great Lakes region, which includes Indiana and Michigan.
