SBA 7A Loan Program

The SBA 7(a) loan program provides small businesses access to funds if they are struggling to secure funding through traditional lending sources. We at Mid-Atlantic Commercial Capital, LLC have partnerships with a network of reputed lenders to offer you the Small Business Administration (SBA) 7(a) Loan Guarantee program. With years of experience in the industry, we can guide you through each step to help secure financing.

Why is SBA 7(a) Loan Program Popular?

Most small business owners apply for the SBA 7(a) Loan program because it is one of the most basic types of SBA loan programs. The loans are provided through SBA-approved private lenders, mostly banks. The SBA guarantees up to 85% of these funds. There are different types of loans under the program and we can guide you to make the right choice after assessing your business. This is the primary loan program supported by the SBA to provide guaranteed loans to small businesses.

Standard 7(a) loans provide up to $5 million in loans for a period ranging from 10 years to 25 years. Fixed assets such as equipment can be financed for up to 10 years and assets like real estate for up to 25 years. The interest rates start from 2.25%.
