ABOUT THE 7(A) LOAN PROGRAM

The 7(a) loan program is SBA’s primary business loan program for providing financial assistance to small businesses.

The 7(a) Loan Program, SBA’s primary business loan program, provides loan guaranties to lenders that allow them to provide financial help for small businesses with special requirements. 7(a) loans can be used for: 

  • Acquiring, refinancing, or improving real estate and buildings
  • Short- and long-term working capital 
  • Refinancing current business debt 
  • Purchasing and installation of machinery and equipment
  • Purchasing furniture, fixtures, and supplies 
  • Changes of ownership (complete or partial)
  • Multiple purpose loans, including any of the above

The maximum loan amount for a 7(a) loan is $5 million. Key eligibility factors are based on what the business does to receive its income, its credit history, and where the business operates. Your lender will help you figure out which type of loan is best suited for your needs.
