Overview

What are SBA loans?

SBA loans are business loans partially guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The SBA doesn't lend directly — instead, it partners with approved lenders (banks, credit unions, and online lenders) and guarantees a portion of the loan, reducing the lender's risk.

This government backing means lenders can offer more favorable terms: lower interest rates, longer repayment periods, and higher loan amounts. SBA loans are available for a wide range of purposes including working capital, equipment, real estate, and business acquisition.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

SBA 7(a) is the most common program, offering up to $5M for general business purposes. SBA 504 is specifically for purchasing fixed assets like real estate or major equipment, with loans up to $5.5M and typically lower rates.

SBA loans involve more documentation and underwriting because of the government guarantee. The process typically takes 30-90 days, but the trade-off is significantly better rates and terms compared to faster alternatives.

SBA microloans (up to $50K) are available for startups and newer businesses. For larger SBA 7(a) or 504 loans, most lenders prefer at least 2 years of operating history, though some will consider businesses with 1+ year.

For loans under $25K, no collateral is required. For larger amounts, the SBA requires lenders to collateralize the loan to the extent possible, but they won't decline a loan solely for lack of collateral.
