SBA Loan Program
If you find that your situation isn’t an exact match for a banking loan program, you may still be able to qualify. Banks are much more willing to make a loan to a qualified business under their SBA program.
Why? Because the Small Business Administration will guarantee up to 85% of the loan amount.
SBA programs are flexible and can be used for many purposes including:
– Business acquisitions / expansion
– Real estate financing
– Working capital lines of credit
– Construction Financing
– Inventory Purchases
Benefits of an SBA loan include:
Flexible repayment terms – up to 25 years
Rates as low as 4.75%
