SBA 7(a) Loan Application Checklist Overview – Winston Rowe & Associates CRE Financing

Small Business Administration 7(a) loans are one of the best ways to finance your small business.

They're guaranteed by the federal agency, which allows lenders to offer them with flexible terms and low interest rates.

Getting one, can help you grow your business without taking on possibly crippling debt.

SBA loans, as the 7(a) loans are also known, are the agency's most popular type of financing. There's one big downside, however: It can be tough to get a loan from the SBA.

The SBA does not provide direct loans.

To begin the process, you will need to complete an SBA loan application form and collect the necessary supporting documentation.
