Analyzed Economic Effects

SBA exemption required for affiliate loan
Argosy Investment Partners IV wants to lend money to Olympia Chimney Supply, but the loan counts as financing of an Associate because Odyssey Capital Group owns more than ten percent of Olympia. Because of that ownership, the transaction requires a prior written exemption under Section 312 and 13 CFR 107.730(a) and (d).

Any interested person may submit written comments about this proposed financing to the SBA Associate Administrator for Investment and Innovation within fifteen days of the June 4, 2025 publication (by June 19, 2025).
