While most lenders and loan programs offered by the SBA have different eligibility requirements, the majority of these requirements are centered around the products or services the business provides, the character of its ownership, and the location of operation. Some of the main factors that the SBA requires are that the business is for-profit, located and operates in the USA, has invested equity in the business, and has had difficulty applying for financing with other lenders in the past.
The Small Business Administration works with various lenders. Any company seeking to apply for an SBA Loan needs to find a lender that works with the SBA, from there, fill out an application with that lender and provide all the documentation required. The lender will then review the application for approval.
To find your business’ SBA Loan status, it’s crucial to understand which type of loan program your business applied for. If you applied for an SBA loan, then the lender your business applied through would have this information, and you should contact them directly for status updates.
It’s a type of loan provided by the Small Business Administration that provides low-interest loans with long-term repayment options to businesses that have less than 500 employees, are non-profits, and sole proprietors or independent contractors that have been impacted by a major disaster. These types of disasters can be a result of a natural disaster or a healthcare pandemic, among others.
Each SBA lender requires different documentation and will ask qualifying questions during the application process. While each lender is different, it makes sense to have a business plan in mind, know the amount and use of funds needed, and have a good credit history. Financial projections, collateral, and industry experience are also a plus. The SBA states that even businesses with low credit still have a possibility of being accepted.
When filling out an application, documentation to have on hand includes past bank statements, a valid form of identification, a business checking account, and past tax returns.
