SBA Small Business Loans
An SBA loan is a small business loan that’s partially guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and issued by a participating lenders. The SBA doesn’t lend money directly—instead, it provides a government guarantee that reduces the lender’s risk, making it easier for small businesses to qualify for financing.
SBA loans are designed to help small businesses start, grow, or expand by offering benefits like:
-
Lower down payments
-
Longer repayment terms
-
Flexible use of funds
-
Competitive interest rates
The most popular SBA loan program is the SBA 7(a) loan, which can be used for a wide range of purposes including business acquisitions, working capital, real estate, equipment purchases, or refinancing existing debt.
