The SBA7(a) Loan Program

When it comes to purchasing your own building, purchasing equipment and obtaining much desired working capital the SBA7(a) loan program is considered one of the most desirable ways to achieve your goal of obtaining the combination of maximum leverage with incredibly competitive rates.

SBA7(a) loans are designed to help small businesses owners purchase, construct or improve an existing commercial building as well as provide financing for working capital and purchase fixtures, furniture & equipment.


Advantages of a SBA7(a) Loan

  • Higher than normal leverage than a conventional Bank could offer from its portfolio.
  • A low down payment and/or equity injection required for your project
  • For real estate secured loans fully amortizing loans up to 25 years with no balloon payments
  • Seventy-five percent (75%) of your loan is government guaranteed.  Therefore Lenders can provide you with higher than normal LTV’s. Please note that under the SBA7(a) loan program additional collateral, where available, is required until a 1.00:1.00 collateral coverage ratio has been achieved.
  • Closing costs such as appraisal fee, environmental fees, contingency fees can/will be included in the financing
  • Projected income consideration. The Lender in an SBA7(a) loan can consider projected income of a business in addition to historical cash flows. This is particularly advantageous for growing businesses.
