Here are 5 key takeaways you won't want to miss:
-The Small Business Administration (SBA) was established in 1953 to counsel and protect the interests of small business owners. The SBA does not directly make loans but guarantees a portion of loans made by banks and credit unions.
-The SBA offers various loan programs, including the 7A loan, 504 loans, SBA Express, and microloans. Each program has its own eligibility criteria and is suitable for different types of businesses and financing needs.
-SBA loans can be used for a wide range of purposes, such as business acquisition, real estate, working capital, and startup funding. The choice between the 7A loan and the 504 loan depends on factors like loan proceeds, the underwriting process, and collateral requirements.
-SBA loans provide several benefits, including low-interest rates, longer repayment terms, high loan-to-cost ratios, and the ability to include seller financing. The application process requires thorough documentation, including personal and business tax returns.
-Seeking guidance from an advisor who understands the SBA loan landscape and can recommend suitable lenders is crucial for a successful loan application. The SBA program offers opportunities for creative deal structuring and expansion.
