SBA 7(a) Loans

SBA 7(a) Funding Made Clear

The U.S. Small Business Administration 7(a) loan is a flexible small business solution for working capital, equipment, acquisition, or refinance. The maximum loan size is five million, with SBA guaranty support that typically reaches eighty five percent on one hundred fifty thousand and below and seventy five percent above that. Lenders decide credit using SBA rules on eligibility, use of proceeds, and documentation.

‍

Recent updates emphasize clear use of proceeds, standardized forms, and active lender reporting. SBA Express delegates authority to approved lenders while carrying a lower guaranty. Pilot efforts for working capital set rate caps over a base rate by loan band, helping owners model cost. GBFSI packages lender ready files and matches you to SBA 7(a) Loans or 504 Loans when real estate or large equipment fits better.

#Who Qualifies

How the SBA 7(a) Works

Tell GBFSI your amount, purpose, and timing. We map goals to the right 7(a) lane and build lender ready materials. Your lender underwrites using SBA eligibility and credit standards, including repayment ability and acceptable use of proceeds. Rates are priced from a base rate with program caps by size. After authorization, funds disburse under a settlement form that certifies proceeds were used as approved and that equity injection posted before disbursement.

#Approval Path

Who Should Apply

Best for U.S. firms that can show a credible path to repay, sound financial records, and lawful, eligible use of proceeds. Startups can qualify under 7(a) with stronger plans and appropriate owner equity. Lenders weigh cash flow, credit, collateral, and management. Express authority allows faster decisions at a lower guaranty level, while standard 7(a) uses full SBA review when needed. GBFSI prepares the file so your case aligns with current policy and lender practice.
