What is a 7(a) loan?
The 7(a) Loan Program, SBA’s most common loan program, includes financial help for small businesses with special requirements. This is a good option when real estate is part of a business purchase, but it can also be used for:
- Short- and long-term working capital
- Refinancing current business debt
- Purchasing and installation of machinery and equipment
- Purchasing furniture, fixtures, and supplies
The maximum loan amount for a 7(a) loan is $5 million. Key eligibility factors are based on what the business does to receive its income, its credit history, and where the business operates. Your lender will help you figure out which type of loan is best suited for your needs.
Am I eligible?
To be eligible for 7(a) loan assistance, businesses must:
- Operate for profit
- Be considered a small business, as defined by SBA
- Be engaged in, or propose to do business in, the United States or its possessions
- Be able to demonstrate a need for a loan
- Use the funds for a sound business purpose
- Not be delinquent on any existing debt obligations to the U.S. government
- Be creditworthy and reasonably assure repayment of the loan
Some businesses may not qualify for a 7(a) loan. Read more about Terms, conditions, and eligibility.
How do I use the 7(a) loan?
Basic uses for the 7(a) loan include:
- Long- and short-term working capital
- Revolving funds based on the value of existing inventory and receivables
- The purchase of equipment, machinery, furniture, fixtures, supplies, or materials
- The purchase of real estate, including land and buildings
- The construction a new building or renovation an existing building
- Establishing a new business or assisting in the acquisition, operation or expansion of an existing business
- Refinancing existing business debt, under certain conditions
What do I need to apply?
The contents of the loan application generally vary depending on the size of the loan and the lender’s processing method. When you’re ready to apply, begin the process by working with your lender to determine which documents they will require you to provide.
The loan application documents required will generally include SBA Form 1919, Borrower’s Information Form. Use the following checklist to ensure you are prepared if your lender asks you for any of the following information:
- Borrower information form (required): Complete SBA Form 1919 and submit it to an SBA-participating lender.
- Financial statements (as applicable): The lender may require personal financial statements for the applicant(s) or owner(s) of the applicant.
- Business financial statements (as applicable): Submit the following to help show your ability to repay a loan:
- Profit and loss statement – Current within 180 days of your application. Also include supplementary schedules from the last three fiscal years.
- Projected financial statements – Include a detailed, one-year projection of income and finances and explain how you expect to achieve this projection.
- Ownership and affiliations: Provide a list of names and addresses of any subsidiaries and affiliates.
- Business license or certificate (as applicable): Provide a copy of the original business license or certificate of doing business. If your small business is a corporation, stamp your corporate seal on the SBA loan application form.
- Loan application history (as applicable): Include records of any loans you may have applied for in the past.
- Income tax returns (required for the lender to verify applicant’s size): Include signed business federal income tax returns of your business for the previous three years.
- Resumes (as applicable): Include personal resumes for each principal.
- Business overview and history (as applicable): Provide a history of the business and its challenges. Include an explanation of why you need the SBA loan and how it will help your business.
- Business lease (as applicable): Include a copy of your business lease, or a note from your landlord, with the terms of the proposed lease.
If you are buying an existing business, gather the following information (required):
- Current balance sheet and profit and loss statement of the business being acquired
- Federal income tax returns for the previous three years of the business being acquired
- Proposed bill of sale/purchase agreement, including the terms of sale
- Asking price with schedule of inventory, machinery and equipment, and furniture and fixtures
You may be required to submit more SBA forms based on the specific use of proceeds or fees paid on a loans package or to a broker or agent.
How do I pay back my 7(a) loan?
Loan repayment terms vary according to several factors.
- Most 7(a) term loans are repaid with monthly payments of principal and interest from the cash flow of the business
- Payments stay the same for fixed-rate loans because the interest rate is constant
- For variable rate loans, the lender may require a different payment amount when the interest rate changes

Small Business Administration (SBA) loans are a type of financing that the U.S. government provides to small businesses and entrepreneurs to encourage economic growth. The SBA doesn’t lend money directly to small business owners. Instead, it sets guidelines for loans made by its partnering lenders, community development organizations, and micro-lending institutions.
Here’s how the process generally works:
1. **Choose the Right Loan:** The SBA offers several different types of loans, so you’ll need to determine which one is the best fit for your business. Some of the most common ones include the 7(a) Loan Program for general small business loans, the Microloan Program for smaller loans, the 504 Loan Program for commercial real estate and equipment purchases, and the Disaster Loan Program for businesses affected by disasters.
2. **Find a Lender:** Not all banks and lenders offer SBA loans, so you’ll need to find one that does. The SBA provides a Lender Match tool on its website to help connect you with suitable lenders.
3. **Prepare Your Application:** Each SBA loan program has its own eligibility requirements, but generally, you’ll need to provide information about your business, a detailed business plan, financial statements, information on any existing debt, and personal financial information.
4. **Apply for the Loan:** Submit your loan application to your chosen lender, who will review your application and make a decision about whether or not to offer you a loan. If they approve your application, they’ll submit it to the SBA.
5. **SBA Review:** The SBA will then review your application. If it approves the loan, it will provide a guarantee to the lender, which essentially insures a portion of the loan against default. This guarantee can cover up to 85% of the loan amount, depending on the loan program.
6. **Receive Your Funds:** If your loan is approved by both the lender and the SBA, you’ll receive your funds and can begin using them for your intended business purposes.
Keep in mind that while SBA loans can provide much-needed capital for small businesses, they also come with certain costs, such as interest and fees, and require repayment over a set period of time. It’s important to understand the terms of your loan before accepting it.
