What are SBA Loans?

The Small Business Administration is a government agency that provides support to small businesses, including facilitating loans through partner lenders. SBA loans are not loans issued by the SBA; instead, a good portion of the loan is guaranteed by the SBA, reducing the risk for lenders. This makes it easier for some small businesses qualify.

In order to qualify for an SBA loan, your business must:

  • Operate within the United States
  • Be a registered for-profit business
  • Operate legally
  • Have good business credit, to ensure the loan will be repaid
Loan programs and qualifications will vary. Our lending experts will work with you to find the best loan program to fit your needs and the needs of your business.

Types of SBA Loans

7(a) Loan Program: The most common type, the 7(a) Loan is used for a wide range of business purposes including working capital, equipment purchase, and real estate acquisition.

504 Loan Program: A 504 Loan is used specifically for purchasing fixed assets like real estate or equipment, with long-term, fixed-rate financing.

(The SBA also provides additional specialized loans tailored for specific needs. You can learn more about them at the Small Business Administration website.)
