SBA Loan Program
Small businesses are the key to economic prosperity, but sometimes the funding needed for success is not readily available to them. That’s where SBA loans can be of huge benefit.
SBA loans are partially guaranteed through the government and are made available through banks, credit unions, and other lenders who partner with the Small Business Administration. Not all small businesses can qualify for conventional business loans, but SBA loans are tailored to the needs of these companies, strengthening their access to capital.
SBA loans are characterized by low down payment requirements and longer term financing as compared to conventional loans. This keeps cash flow available for operational expenses and keeps debt repayment to a manageable size.
New businesses and start-ups are great SBA loan prospects, but a small business looking for working capital, franchise financing, or need to invest in improvements, equipment, and inventory might also benefit from SBA loans. Clipper Commercial Capital is a skilled guide to the details of SBA loans, so don’t hesitate to contact us if you are ready to examine how an SBA loan might work for you.
Clipper Commercial Capital can help advise you through the many SBA loan programs for your business; which can be an excellent source of financing for most businesses. Clipper Commercial Capital has been designated as a Preferred Financial services company by Preferred SBA lenders to have loans processed more quickly and efficiently. This designation means that the SBA has delegated the approval process to our lenders, which means fast and efficient processing of your SBA loan.
