SBA Financing

For businesses that may not otherwise qualify for conventional bank financing, a U.S. government guaranteed loan may be the answer. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) offers a program of loans that provide flexible terms, higher loan-to-value ratios, and lower down payments.

SBA guaranteed loans are available to all types of borrowers, to include sole proprietors, partnerships, and corporations. They provide lines of credits, term loans, and real-estate loans for all loan purposes, such as business acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures, and real estate purchase and improvement.
