SBA refreshes size standards across 200+ industries

All market news

Revised revenue and headcount thresholds expand the pool of businesses that qualify as “small”.

The updated NAICS-based thresholds raise revenue caps in several service and construction categories, meaning more established firms now fall inside small-business eligibility.

Our eligibility screening tracks these standards directly, so affected merchants may qualify for group financing that was previously out of reach.

Commercial Finance Partnership is a private company and applies these standards for screening only; it is not affiliated with the SBA.
