What is an SBA loan?

An SBA loan is a government-guaranteed small business loan that has a long-term and a low-interest rate. The Small Business Administration (SBA) is the government agency that partially guarantees SBA loans. It was created in 1953 to help small-scale business owners across the United States.

The most frequently-repeated misconception regarding the loan is the fact that the company loans money directly to small companies. The SBA, however, generally does not offer direct loans. The SBA provides a guarantee on the loan, promising to reimburse the bank for a certain percentage of your loan if you default on that loan. This guarantees lowers the risk for lenders and banks which encourages them to offer SBA loans to even more American small-sized firms. A variety of banks and financial institutions provide SBA loans, however their procedure, requirements, and charges can differ.

What can you use your SBA loan for?

SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loans

The SBA also offered up to $10 million of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loans in the wake from the CARES Act. This PPP loans were provided to assist small-sized companies who are struggling with the COVID-19 epidemic to ensure employees remain on payroll. The funds from these loans can be used to pay for payroll expenses as well as rent, benefits for employees utilities, and other costs that have been approved. If the funds are used in accordance with the terms of the loan, it could be repaid. The program was scheduled to close at the end of June in 2020. However, it’s being extended until August 8th 2020. Majesty Strong Business Funding has processed hundreds of PPP loans for banks we have in our network.
