Dallas-Fort Worth has emerged as one of America's most dynamic manufacturing regions. With $1.5 billion in SBA-backed loans approved in Fiscal Year 2025 alone—the highest volume of any district in the South Central Region—DFW manufacturers have unprecedented access to growth capital.
DFW's Manufacturing Moment
- SBA Lending: $1.5 billion in 7(a) and 504 loans approved in FY2025, supporting over 22,000 jobs
- Population Growth: 8.34 million residents, fastest-growing metro in the U.S.
- Aerospace Investment: Bell Textron committing $429 million in Fort Worth
- Manufacturing Expansion: Major investments from Siemens ($190 million), Wistron ($761 million)
Aerospace and Defense: DFW's Manufacturing Engine
Fort Worth has emerged as a national center for aerospace manufacturing. Bell Textron's $429 million aircraft manufacturing facility supports the U.S. Army's Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) program, with potential contracts worth up to $70 billion over coming decades.
The aerospace expansion creates cascading opportunities throughout the supply chain. Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers—precision machining shops, metal fabricators, electronics assemblers—are seeing increased demand and need working capital to fund production expansion.
Why MARC Makes Sense for DFW Manufacturers
The MARC program addresses the challenges manufacturers face: substantial upfront costs, extended payment cycles, and capital requirements that exceed typical bank line limits.
- Up to $5 Million in Working Capital
- 10-Year Term Loans with Predictable Payments
- Relaxed 1:1 Debt Service Coverage Requirement
- FY2026 Fee Waivers for NAICS 31-33 manufacturers
Capital Stacking for Major Expansions
For DFW manufacturers pursuing significant expansion, capital stacking strategies can unlock $10 million or more by combining MARC, SBA 504, and standard 7(a) financing.
