What is an SBA Loan?

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is an independent agency of the federal government that created a program designed to help small businesses that may otherwise not meet a bank’s credit requirements to obtain financing. SBA realizes that small businesses are the backbone of our economy. By utilizing the SBA program of government-guaranteed loans, a small business is able to improve its chances by qualifying for more flexible terms than conventional financing. SBA loans also provide much needed financing for special interest groups, such as: Women owned businesses, Veterans, Native American and Young Entrepreneurs.

To qualify for an SBA loan, your business must meet the following criteria:

  • Meet the SBA size guidelines
  • Be an owner-operated, for profit entity
  • Organized as a sole proprietorship, corporation, or professional partnership

Types of loans:

  • Lines of Credit
  • Term Loans
  • Equipment Loans
  • Business Acquisition Loans

Special Programs:
