SBICs Required to File Form 468
If you operate a Small Business Investment Company (SBIC), you must submit financial statements and supplementary information on SBA Form 468. The SBA reports an estimated 1,346 annual respondents and a total estimated annual hour burden of 37,446 for this collection (OMB Control Number 3245-0063). The SBA says it will seek OMB approval to extend or revise this information collection.
Form 468 Used in Leverage Credit Analysis
The SBA uses the financial information from Form 468 to monitor SBIC financial condition and regulatory compliance, and for credit analysis when considering SBIC leverage applications. The same data is used to evaluate financial risk and economic impact for individual SBICs and the SBIC program as a whole.
Public Comment Window to Reduce Burden
You can submit comments on improvements to the Form 468 collection through September 21, 2026. The SBA is asking for suggestions to improve the form, reduce respondent burden, and consider using automated collection techniques to make the process easier and less time-consuming for SBICs.
