SBA Loan Programs

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is an independent agency of the Executive branch of the Federal Government. Its responsibility is to provide four primary areas of assistance to American small business – one of which is small business lending. The SBA sets the guidelines for lending, while SBA partners offer financing to small businesses.

When your small business needs financing, consider an SBA loan or line of credit. SBA financing offers distinct advantages designed to assist small businesses in accessing the capital they need to grow. Benefits of SBA financing versus conventional financing options include:

  • Up to 25 year terms, with no balloon payments
  • Fixed or variable interest rates up to 25 years
  • As little as 10% down payment on commercial real estate
  • Loan closing costs may be financed

The SBA has specific criteria for businesses to qualify for SBA financing

  • The business must operate for-profit
  • The business must operate in the United States or its possessions
  • The business must show that the loan can be repaid from existing or projected cash flow.

We offer loan amounts of $50,000 up to $5 million. Eligibility requirements and credit criteria are very flexible, allowing nearly all small businesses to qualify. Primary considerations are the business’s ability to repay the loan from cash flow and the owner’s good credit rating.
