Common questions
Will SBA loans be forgiven?
SBA loans are intended for repayment, not forgiveness. They are structured as loans that must be paid back over time. Unlike some grants, repayment is a core expectation. We can explain the repayment terms for your Michigan business.
Who qualifies for an SBA loan?
To qualify for an SBA loan, your business must be a for-profit U.S. entity. It needs to meet SBA size standards and have a demonstrated ability to repay. Good credit and a solid business plan are also important.
What disqualifies you from getting an SBA loan?
Common disqualifiers include a weak credit score, past bankruptcies, or an inability to show how the loan will be repaid. Businesses in certain industries like lending or gambling may not qualify. We review your financial standing.
What is the 20% rule for SBA?
The '20% rule' often relates to the owner's equity injection requirement. Lenders want to see that the business owner has invested a portion of their own capital. This shows commitment. Specific percentages can differ by SBA program.
Can I get an SBA loan in Detroit?
