SBA 7(a) Loan Program
The 7A Loan Program is the most common SBA loan program.
If you want to start a new business or expand your existing small business, a 7(a) loan might be a great, flexible option for you.
A local business will take out 7(a) loans for a number of uses such as:
- Acquiring an existing business
- Refinancing existing debt (under some circumstances)
- Purchase equipment
- Short and long-term capital needs
- Construction or renovation projects
When applying for an SBA 7(a) loan, you can borrow up to $5 million in capital to use for any of these reasons or other eligible business purposes.
Aside from the flexibility of the 7(a) loan, the other great part about an SBA 7(a) loan is that the interest rates and fees are much lower compared to other business financing options. The SBA sets the fees and maximum interest rates that lenders can charge.
Although these fees and rates change from time to time, they are kept at competitive market levels to encourage small business owners to borrow money and invest in their companies. Current rates for an SBA 7A Loan range from 7% to 9.5%.
