About this service
The SBA does not lend money directly; instead, they provide a guarantee to lenders, which reduces the risk for the bank. You need this type of financing when you have a viable business but need the backing of the federal government to qualify for better terms or lower down payments. Because the government is involved, these loans are often more accessible for small businesses that might struggle to meet the strict criteria of conventional commercial bank loans.
