An SBA loan is a business loan that is partially guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. This guarantee reduces risk for lenders, which often leads to more favorable terms for borrowers, such as lower interest rates and longer repayment periods for Arizona businesses.
Repayment terms for SBA loans vary depending on the loan program and how the funds are used. Loans for commercial real estate can extend up to 25 years, while loans for working capital or equipment typically have terms up to 10 years. This offers flexibility.
