Money     SBA 7(A) LOANS are used by start-ups and existing small businesses that might not be able to secure loans through standard channels. Terms vary from up to 10 years for working capital and up to 25 years for fixed assets. Monies may be used for purchasing land, buildings, equipment, inventory, fixtures, and leasehold improvements.

 

Tools      SBA 504 LOANS are also called the Certified Development Company (CDC) Program. They are designed to provide long-term, below market, fixed rate financing for projects such as the construction of new facilities, renovation of old facilities, and the purchase of land, improvement, long-term machinery, and equipment.

 

Flags      SBAEXPRESS is a loan program that streamlines the processing and procedures for less complex lending. A response is made within 36 hours of the application. The accelerated process is ideal for small businesses with short-term needs or seasonal lines of credit.
