Business funding · SBA 7(a) Loan

Best terms available, and the hardest to get.

A partial government guarantee lets lenders offer terms no other product matches, up to 25 years. The trade-off is the process: months of underwriting, exhaustive documentation, and a high decline rate even on strong files.

Set expectations honestly: SBA approval typically runs 2 to 6 months, and the large majority of files are declined after full documentation. Consider a faster product in parallel.

These are partner lender guidelines, not offers. Approvals, amounts, rates, and terms are determined solely by the funding partner and are not guaranteed. Results vary and depend on credit, income, and lender approval. Not typical results.
