What is Sba Financing?

Category: Finance

1Definition

Small business loans partially guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration, reducing lender risk.

2Context

Makes financing accessible to small businesses that might not qualify for conventional loans.

3Example

A restaurant owner gets an SBA 7(a) loan for $350,000 to expand, with the SBA guaranteeing 75% of the loan.

Common Trap

The SBA doesn't lend directly—it guarantees loans made by banks. You still apply through a regular lender.
