Starting a Business Isn't Easy—Funding Should Be

An SBA loan is business financing provided by a participating lender and partially guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). This government guarantee can reduce some of the lender’s risk and may allow qualified businesses to access competitive financing terms.

SBA financing can be used for a variety of eligible business purposes, making it an option for established businesses, growing companies, and entrepreneurs purchasing an existing business.

SBA 7(a) Loans

The SBA 7(a) program is one of the most versatile SBA financing options. Qualified businesses may use loan proceeds for a variety of eligible purposes, including working capital, equipment purchases, business acquisitions, expansion, commercial real estate, and refinancing certain eligible business debt.

Because SBA 7(a) loans can serve several business needs, they may be a good option for business owners looking for longer-term financing and greater flexibility.

SBA 504 Loans

SBA 504 Loans are primarily designed to help qualified businesses finance major fixed assets, such as owner-occupied commercial real estate, buildings, land, construction, improvements, and long-term equipment.

These loans are generally structured for long-term business expansion and typically involve a participating lender and a Certified Development Company (CDC).
