SBA Loans

What is an SBA loan?

An SBA loan is a term loan partially guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Because the government shares the risk with the lender, businesses typically gain access to lower rates, longer repayment terms, and larger loan amounts than many conventional options allow.

It’s designed for established, revenue-generating businesses looking to expand, purchase equipment or real estate, refinance existing debt, or strengthen working capital — without giving up equity.

Frequently asked questions

What is an SBA loan?expand_more

An SBA loan is a term loan partially guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The guarantee reduces the lender’s risk, which often translates into lower rates and longer repayment terms for your business.

Who qualifies for an SBA loan?expand_more

Generally, established U.S.-based businesses with at least a year of operating history and consistent revenue. Credit history matters, but it’s one factor among several — our specialists will review your specific situation.

How much can I borrow?expand_more

Loan amounts are based on your revenue, intended use of funds, and overall financial profile. Larger amounts are available for qualifying businesses with strong documentation and a clear use of proceeds.

How long does approval take?expand_more

SBA loans involve a more thorough underwriting process than short-term products, so approval typically takes longer. Having your documentation ready up front is the biggest factor in keeping things moving quickly.

What documents are required?expand_more

Typically business and personal financial statements, tax returns, a business overview, and details on how you plan to use the funds. Your specialist will provide a checklist tailored to your loan type.

Can startups qualify?expand_more

SBA loans are best suited to businesses with an established operating and revenue history. Newer or pre-revenue businesses may be better served by one of Advancery’s other financing options.

Can I use the funds for equipment?expand_more

Yes. Equipment purchases are one of the most common uses of SBA financing, alongside working capital, real estate, expansion, and debt consolidation.
