To qualify, your business must be a for-profit entity operating in the U.S. You need to meet SBA size standards and show a clear ability to repay. A good credit history and a solid business plan are also important.
What disqualifies you from getting an SBA loan?
Common disqualifiers include a poor credit history, past bankruptcies, or an inability to demonstrate repayment capacity. Businesses involved in lending, speculation, or gambling may not be eligible. We assess your business's financial health.
What is the 20% rule for SBA?
