SBA Loans

What are SBA Loans?

SBA loans are government-backed loans designed to support small businesses in obtaining financing. The Small Business Administration (SBA) partners with lenders to provide loans that are easier to qualify for than traditional bank loans. These loans can be used for various purposes, including working capital, purchasing equipment, and real estate. 

Types of SBA Loans

There are several types of SBA loans available, including:

    • SBA 7(a) Loan: The most common type, used for various business purposes such as working capital, equipment purchases, and real estate.
    • SBA 504 Loan: Designed for purchasing fixed assets like real estate or equipment, offering long-term financing.
    • SBA Microloan: Provides smaller loan amounts (up to $50,000) for startups and small businesses.
    • SBA Disaster Loans: For businesses impacted by natural disasters, providing funds for repairs and recovery.

Benefits of SBA Loans

SBA loans offer several advantages, including:

  • Access to larger loan amounts, ranging from a few thousand to several million dollars.
  • Support for a variety of business purposes, including expansion, inventory, and working capital.
  • Government backing reduces lender risk, making it easier for businesses to secure funding.

    • Business must be considered a small business by SBA standards.
    • Must meet the SBA’s size standards, which vary by industry.
