SBA loans are backed by the U.S. Small Business Administration and help businesses that may not qualify through conventional channels. They typically come with longer terms and lower down payments.

An SBA 7(a) loan offers more flexible terms and can be used for working capital, business acquisitions, equipment, or real estate. An SBA 504 loan is designed specifically for purchasing or improving fixed assets like buildings, land, or large equipment.

Most SBA loans require at least 10% down. In some cases, it can be higher depending on collateral and risk.

Terms depend on how you use the funds. For example, real estate loans can go up to 25 years, while working capital or equipment loans typically have 10-year terms. Interest rates are usually variable for 7(a) loans and fixed for the SBA 504 portion.

To qualify, your business must be for-profit, based in the U.S., and meet SBA size standards based on revenue or number of employees. Certain industries, like cannabis-related ones, are not eligible to apply for SBA loans.
