What Is an SBA Loan?
In simple terms, an SBA loan refers to a small business loan partially guaranteed by the government through the Small Business Administration (SBA). The SBA works with a network of approved financial institutions that lend money to small businesses. The SBA agency doesn’t lend the money directly to small business owners, but it sets guidelines for loans by partnering with lending institutions.
SBA loans range from $500 to $5 million dollars, and the loan term ranges from 5 to 25 years. Interest rates start at 3.4% and extend up to 13%, depending on the type of loan you look into. There are four types of SBA loans:
- SBA 7(a) loans
- SBA 504/CDC loans
- SBA microloans
- SBA express loans
Business owners who are looking into these loans must have a legally registered and officially operating for-profit business that operates in the United States, have invested equity into their business, be able to repay the loan, and have exhausted other financial options. Other stipulations and eligibility requirements depend on the loan applied for, the lender, and the financial/credit status of the business owner.
What Are the Typical Terms on an SBA Loan?
Terms can vary and can range from 3.72% to 13%, depending on which SBA loan program you are borrowing through, how much you borrow, the repayment term length, and your business’ qualifications. SBA loans can range in size from $500 to $5 million. Repayment terms vary: 25 years for real estate/equipment and 10 years for working capital.
The 7(a) loan is the SBA’s most popular product and offers a flexible sum of cash for a variety of uses, including daily operations, purchasing new products, and refinancing high-interest loans. Your SBA loan rate depends on the current US Prime Rate.
How Do SBA Loans Differ From Traditional Business Loans?
The big difference between an SBA loan and a conventional loan is that the government partially guarantees an SBA loan. While lenders provide the funds on an SBA loan, the agency guarantees a portion of that amount. If you default on the loan, the SBA pays out the guaranteed amount. This allows for longer payment terms and lower monthly payments. Conventional business loan payment terms typically only last 5 years. An SBA loan can last as long as 25 years.
What Are The Benefits of SBA Loans?
SBA loans are one of the most desirable and sought-after types of business loans. Many small business owners apply for an SBA loan before exploring other similar options. Between lower interest rates and substantially longer repayment terms, SBA loans tend to give you the funding you need, without disrupting your cash flow.
