What is an SBA Loan?

A Small Business Administration Loan (“SBA Loan”) is a small business loan program administered by the Small Business Administration and is partially guaranteed by the government. This program works with other financial institutions to help give small businesses access to working capital that has longer terms and lower interest rates. Most businesses seeking working capital to purchase inventory, operate or expand a business can benefit from a SBA Loan.

What types of SBA loans does EJN Financial offer, and what are their typical uses?

EJN Financial offers various SBA loan programs, including:

  • SBA 7(a) Loans: Ideal for working capital, equipment purchases, and business expansion.

  • SBA 504 Loans: Designed for purchasing commercial real estate or significant fixed assets.

  • SBA Microloans: Suitable for smaller funding needs, such as starting a business or purchasing inventory.

These loans provide small businesses with access to capital featuring longer terms and lower interest rates, facilitating growth and operational needs.

Advantages:

  • Government-Backed: Partially guaranteed by the government, reducing lender risk.

  • Lower Interest Rates: More affordable financing options for small businesses.

  • Longer Repayment Terms: Extended periods to repay the loan, easing cash flow.

Disadvantages:

  • Strict Application Process: More stringent requirements and documentation compared to other loans.

  • Collateral Requirements: May necessitate personal or business assets as security.

  • Longer Funding Time: Typically takes 30-45 days to receive funds.

Yes, businesses can apply for multiple SBA loans, provided they meet the eligibility criteria and have maintained good standing on existing loans. For instance, if a business has an SBA 7(a) loan, it may still qualify for an SBA 504 loan for different purposes, such as purchasing real estate. EJN Financial can assist in evaluating your business needs and determining suitable loan combinations.
