SBA Financing

SBA Financing Designed to Support Small Business Growth

The U.S. Small Business Administration does not typically lend directly. Instead, it guarantees a portion of loans made by participating lenders — which can expand access to longer-term financing for eligible small businesses.

SBA 7(a)

Flexible, multi-purpose financing

The SBA's primary loan guarantee program. A single 7(a) loan can combine several purposes, making it a common choice for acquisitions and growth projects.

Common uses

  • Business acquisitions and partner buyouts
  • Owner-occupied real estate
  • Equipment, furniture, and fixtures
  • Working capital
  • Refinancing eligible business debt

SBA 504

Long-term, fixed-rate fixed-asset financing

Structured with a private lender and a Certified Development Company (CDC), 504 financing is built for major fixed assets that support growth.

Common uses

  • Purchasing owner-occupied buildings or land
  • New construction and renovation
  • Long-life machinery and equipment
  • Refinancing qualified fixed-asset debt
  • Not for working capital or rental real estate
Explore SBA 504

General eligibility factors

  • Operating, for-profit business located in the U.S.
  • Meets SBA size standards and is not an ineligible business type
  • Creditworthiness and reasonable ability to repay
  • Unable to obtain the desired credit on reasonable terms elsewhere
  • Equity injection where required (e.g., start-ups and acquisitions)

Why complete documentation matters

Incomplete or inconsistent information is one of the most common sources of avoidable delay in SBA lending. Lenders need to verify the business’s history, the owners’ backgrounds, the use of proceeds, and the ability to repay. A well-organized package lets the lender focus on evaluating your request rather than chasing missing items.

How to prepare for an SBA loan

Final eligibility, rates, terms, and approval are determined by the lender and applicable program requirements. Sapphire Holdings does not approve, fund, or guarantee loans. Financing Disclosures
