SHARE

 

Our friends at Filmore Capital have created a great guide that covers Everything You Need to Know About SBA 7(a) Loans: Acquisitions, Partner Buyouts and More.

Of the many loans available to small and mid-sized business owners, the SBA 7(a) Loan is the most common loan administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. These loans are issued by a private lender and guaranteed by the SBA, which guaranteed nearly 52,000 7(a) loans in the 2021 fiscal year.

 

What Can a SBA 7(a) Loan Be Used For?

Also known as the “Growth Generator” loan, it is designed to help an enterprise grow by offering much-needed capital alongside low-interest rates and a manageable downpayment.
