FAQs

SBA Loans

Do I apply to the SBA directly or with a participating lender?

What can I use an SBA loan for?

An SBA 7(a) loan is typically used for a variety of business purposes including working capital, equipment acquisition, debt refinance, change of ownership, and real estate purchases. The SBA 504 loan is typically used for long-term, fixed-rate financing of major fixed assets that promote business growth and job creation like existing buildings, land, new facilities, and long-term equipment. The SBA Express loans can be used for similar reasons to the SBA 7(a) like working capital, equipment purchases, debt refinance, and real estate purchases.

What will I need to apply for an SBA loan?

When filling out an application for an SBA loan be prepared to have current bank statements, a valid ID, a business checking account, past tax returns, a schedule of business debts, and a plan for the use of proceeds.

How long does it take to get an SBA loan?

The SBA loan approval process can typically take between 30 to 90 days from application to funding. However, this timeframe varies depending on the loan type.
