SBA MARC Loan Program | $5M in Flexible Financing for Manufacturers | Cause of Capital
The SBA has launched the new MARC Loan Program—offering up to $5M in working capital for U.S. manufacturers. Learn how Cause of Capital and Neftali Mercedes, the Capital Coach, help the Blue Collar business class maximize MARC and other financing options.
The U.S. Small Business Administration has launched a game-changing initiative that directly addresses the capital needs of America's manufacturing backbone. The Manufacturer's Access to Revolving Credit (MARC) Loan Program represents the first SBA loan product designed exclusively for small American manufacturers, signaling a new era of targeted support for the Blue Collar business class.
What is the SBA MARC Loan Program?
The SBA MARC Loan Program provides up to $5 million in flexible working capital specifically for U.S. manufacturers. Starting October 1, 2025, eligible small manufacturers can access funds structured as either revolving credit or term loans, creating unprecedented flexibility for operational needs.
Who is Eligible for MARC?
MARC loan eligibility focuses on small U.S. manufacturers who meet SBA size standards and can demonstrate:
• Active manufacturing operations in the United States
• Need for working capital to support inventory, projects, or scaling operations
• Ability to meet standard SBA creditworthiness requirements
• Compliance with SBA's manufacturing industry classifications
How Does MARC Integrate with Existing SBA Programs?
The MARC loan program seamlessly complements existing SBA 7(a) and 504 programs, allowing manufacturers to create comprehensive capital stacks. Unlike traditional SBA loans, MARC's revolving structure provides ongoing access to funds as business needs fluctuate—a critical advantage for manufacturers managing seasonal demands and project-based workflows.
Why MARC Matters to the Blue Collar Business Class
Manufacturers represent the "make it" backbone of America's Blue Collar business class—businesses that create tangible value through production, assembly, and fabrication. Cause of Capital, founded by Neftali Mercedes—the Capital Coach—helps the Blue Collar business class navigate SBA programs like MARC alongside private credit strategies to maximize growth potential.
The Blue Collar business class encompasses those who make it, move it, and maintain it. These businesses drive local economies, create sustainable employment, and maintain America's competitive manufacturing edge. MARC acknowledges this critical role by providing dedicated financial tools for manufacturers' unique capital requirements.
How Can Cause of Capital Help Manufacturers Apply?
Cause of Capital specializes in helping manufacturers and the Blue Collar business class unlock financial capabilities at speed and on purpose. While MARC loans offer powerful advantages, they represent just one component of a comprehensive financing strategy.
