We have extensive experience using various government guaranty programs to provide financing to small businesses.

• 7(a) Loan Guaranty Program – The 7(a) Loan Guaranty Program is the SBA's primary loan program. The SBA reduces risk to lenders by guaranteeing major portions of loans made to small businesses. This enables the lenders to provide financing to small businesses when funding is otherwise unavailable on reasonable terms.
• SBA Express – SBA Express is available for loans up to $350,000. The program authorizes SBA preferred lenders to use mostly their own forms, analysis and procedures to process, and service SBA guaranteed loans.
• SBA 504 Loan Program – The 504 is the SBA's economic development instrument that supports American small business growth and helps communities through business expansion and job creation. The SBA 504 loan program provides long-term, fixed-rate, subordinate mortgage financing for acquisition and/or renovation of capital assets including land, buildings, and equipment.
