An SBA loan is a low-interest, government-backed loan. SBA loans give you the longest term, lowest rates, and are repaid monthly. There are four different types of loan guarantee programs through the SBA: 7(a) loans, CDC 504 loans, micro-loans and disaster loans. Because of their federal guarantee, SBA loans are the lowest cost long-term funding available to small businesses.
Before the involvement of alternative finance in the SBA market, getting an SBA-guaranteed loan was a lengthy, cumbersome process, which has now been simplified. Businesses that have been in business for at least two years are eligible. Collateral can be required for loans of more than $25,000 in some situations.
