A small business loan backed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is one of the most affordable ways to finance your business. With flexible terms and low-interest rates, SBA loans are accessible to American business owners and entrepreneurs who have well-established businesses with a strong credit history.
An SBA loan is a form of conventional financing that comes with stringent requirements. These loans are partially guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration and are issued by authorized lenders such as Gloven Capital.
Through these government-backed loan programs, the SBA is helping entrepreneurs, veterans, women, and minorities gain easier access to lending opportunities by offering banks and private lenders a partial repayment if the business defaults on payments. This reduction in risk for lenders leads to flexible terms, low annual percentage rates (APR), low interest, and low down payments for borrowers.
It is important to remember that the SBA does not lend money directly to small business owners; instead, it sets guidelines for loans made by its partnering lenders.
