How to Apply — Step by Step
Define the use of proceeds
Clarify whether the request is for real estate, equipment, acquisition, working capital, refinance, or expansion.
Determine program fit
Compare SBA 7(a), 504, and conventional business financing where appropriate.
Prepare business documentation
Financial statements, tax returns, ownership details, projections, and transaction documents may be required.
Complete lender and SBA review
The lender evaluates repayment ability and confirms the transaction satisfies applicable SBA requirements.
Complete closing conditions
Real estate, lien, legal, insurance, and other conditions are finalized before funding.
Who Qualifies?
SBA eligibility depends on the current program, business size and type, ownership, use of proceeds, repayment ability, collateral, owner occupancy when applicable, and lender requirements.
Start with the business purpose and timeline. SBA financing can be attractive, but a transaction with a very short closing window may need to be compared with other financing structures.
