Small Business Lenders
Small Business Lenders are certified by the U.S. Small Business
Administration to provide guaranteed funding to small business
owners. Due to the diversity of applicants and the different
business types, the SBA partners with their lending partners to
make it easier for small businesses to obtain funding for new
start-ups. Their involvement has allowed small business owners
to obtain loans for a longer term and thus reduce the monthly
repayments incurred. This provides businesses with a longer
period of time to mature and stabilize without having to bear
the heavy burden of a large loan repayment amount.
With this, the SBA has appointed a list of a few thousand
lending partners in every state to extend this facility to the
general public. Of course, borrowers are still required to
submit full-fledge loan application proposals to the lender with
the difference being that the SBA is the guarantor for such
loans. This typically means that if the borrower defaults than
the risk of non-repayment will fall upon the SBA, as they will
then be responsible for repaying the loan.
Additionally, the criteria set forth for small business loans
make 90% of all businesses qualified applicants for these loans.
Apart from that, businesses are not burdened with balloon
payments and high interest rates, which would otherwise be
offered by any
other commercial lender. Furthermore, fixed rate
loans and variable loans are available to business owners.
Therefore, business owners have more options in deciding the
type of loan that would be suited for their business.
The purposes of acquiring a small business loan are varied
according to the situation of the business. Small business
owners may obtain loans to purchase real estate for business
expansion purposes, to provide cash flow to support a large
project, to lease machinery to operate a business, to utilize as
working capital or to purchase inventory. Whatever the reason
may be, business loans are evaluated an approved by these micro
lenders after thorough evaluation of the business background,
viability and purpose. The only difference is that through the
support of the SBA, they are more willing to give out loans, as
their risk is minimal with repayments guaranteed by a government
agency.
