On March 9th 2026, the rules changed for legal permanent residents in the USA, we are no longer able to access SBA backed loans. Recently I asked the question to one expert member of the ETA community and it seems there are other options, but those can be more challenging than regular SBA loans. On your opinion which options are doable to get financing to buy a SMB? Source: https://www.sba.gov/article/2026/03/09/sba-bans-foreign-nationals-accessing-sba-backed-loans
