THE BLACK EXECUTIVE: WEEKLY MARKET WATCH
Week of March 2 – March 8, 2026
THE LEDGER
This week, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) implemented a significant policy change, effective March 1, 2026, prohibiting businesses with any ownership by legal permanent residents (green card holders) from accessing SBA-backed loans.
This shift aims to prioritize domestic job creation but may adversely affect minority entrepreneurs, particularly those with immigrant backgrounds, by limiting their access to affordable financing options. (apnews.com)
