They\u2019re backed by the U.S. federal government through the SBA, but are administered by approved lenders throughout the country. SBA 7(a) loans tend to have excellent rates and payback terms, which makes them extremely popular \u2013 and competitive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SBA 7(a) loans can be used for commercial real estate, working capital, equipment or inventory, among other uses. Borrowers who qualify can get up to $5 million in funding if they can prove their creditworthiness and business purpose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To apply for an SBA 7(a) loan, you first need to identify an approved lender in your area. They can usually walk you through <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/sba-loans\/sba-loan-application-process\/\">the application process<\/a>, including gathering necessary documents like identification, financial history, business documents and more. Also, they may take slightly longer to fund than other types of loans or financing, so they aren\u2019t a great choice if you need financing in an emergency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><strong>Typical rates<\/strong><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically an SBA 7(a) loan has a fixed interest rate of 9.75 &#8211; 12.75%, depending on how much you borrow and for which purpose. The repayment terms are anywhere from seven years to 25 years. Longer repayment terms are reserved for commercial real estate loans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/sba-loans\/sba-loan-lenders\/\">SBA-approved lender<\/a> is allowed to set their own rates and terms for loans, although the SBA has set maximums that they can\u2019t surpass. The rates and terms will also depend on the borrower\u2019s qualifications \u2013 more creditworthy LLCs, such as those with higher credit scores and annual revenue, will usually get longer repayment terms and lower interest rates. It\u2019s important to check with your chosen lender to determine what your specific repayment rate will be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><strong>Eligibility criteria<\/strong><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SBA requires that any small business that wishes to take out an SBA loan be a for-profit business doing business in the U.S. They also require that the business meet creditworthiness requirements. This usually includes a minimum credit score above 600, two years in business and a certain annual revenue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The business must also be able to prove that they\u2019ve exhausted any other financing options. This often includes applying for <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/business-grants\/\">grants<\/a> or other loans, or even personal financing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to qualify for an SBA 7(a) loan, you must meet the basic SBA eligibility requirements listed above. In addition, your LLC\u00a0 will need to:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Operate in an approved industry (e.g. not gambling, cannabis or speculative real estate)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Demonstrate a business need for the financing<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not have any outstanding delinquent debts to the U.S. government (e.g. taxes)<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lenders may have their own requirements, so it\u2019s important to check with your chosen lender to determine what they\u2019ll ask of you. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99e9a52 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"99e9a52\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/us.swoopfunding.ca\/get-started?fundingReason=fundingOnboarding&#038;version=v3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Get a quote<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5903335 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5903335\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What other loan types are available?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18036f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"18036f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because SBA loans are competitive, it can be somewhat difficult to borrow one. This is especially true for businesses who don\u2019t have a proven credit track record or annual revenue, including startups and new businesses. But there are other loans and financing available for small businesses who can\u2019t qualify for SBA loans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><strong>Term loan<\/strong><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A traditional term loan from a financial institution like a bank or credit union is an extremely popular way to <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/business-loans\/llc-loans\/\">finance an LLC<\/a>. While term loans may have higher credit score requirements and have similar time in business requirements to SBA loans, they tend to have great repayment terms and interest rates. In addition, if you have an existing relationship with a bank or credit union, they may be happy to help you find the right loan for your business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><strong>Online term loan<\/strong><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online term loans are easier to get than traditional term loans, but they tend to be more expensive, meaning they\u2019ll have higher interest rates and shorter repayment terms. While many are backed by traditional financial institutions, online term loans are often backed by financial institutions that are more willing to lend to \u201criskier\u201d businesses, meaning those with lower credit scores and less time in business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online term loans tend to have shorter approval processes and fund more quickly than other more traditional loans, but again, higher rates and shorter repayment terms are the cost you pay for that advantage. It\u2019s important to do your research and make sure you can make the payments on any loan, but especially an online loan or alternative loan with higher interest rates. There are many <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/business-loan-calculator\/\">loan calculators<\/a> available that can help you calculate your monthly payment before you sign as a borrower.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><strong>Line of credit<\/strong><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can\u2019t qualify for a loan for any reason, you may be able to qualify for a business line of credit for your LLC. A business <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/sba-loans\/sba-line-of-credit\/\">line of credit<\/a> is much like a business credit card, in that you\u2019re given a credit limit and can borrow money up to that limit, only paying interest on what you spend. It\u2019s not a lump sum like a loan. Additionally you can usually spend up to that credit limit again as you pay down the debt. Unlike a credit card, you can often withdraw cash from a line of credit or use it to pay for business expenses like mortgages or rent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like a business credit card, a business line of credit may have high interest rates or annual percentage rates (APR), so it\u2019s important to make sure you can afford the debt before you take it on. Many LLCs use business lines of credit for emergencies, such as slower periods or equipment failures. You can often get a business line of credit from your bank or credit card company where you already have an account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><strong>Equipment financing<\/strong><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you run a business that uses a large amount of equipment, <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/business-loans\/asset-finance\/equipment-financing\/\">equipment financing<\/a> can be a good idea. With equipment financing, you get a lump sum of money to buy equipment, such as manufacturing tools, vehicles or even furniture and fixtures, and agree to pay it back over time. In an equipment loan, the equipment you purchase serves as the collateral.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bab6733 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"bab6733\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/us.swoopfunding.ca\/get-started?fundingReason=fundingOnboarding&#038;version=v3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Get a quote<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f1ea0f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3f1ea0f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-723677c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"723677c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Which is right for your business?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6f117f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b6f117f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Determining which type of financing is best for your business requires that you ask yourself a few questions:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>What do I need the money for? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many types of financing and loans have requirements about how you can use the money.

But if you need a large amount of money to buy expensive assets like equipment or real estate, a term loan may make more sense.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>How quickly do I need the money?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Traditional term loans and SBA loans tend to have longer application and approval processes than lines of credit or online loans. If you need <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/us\/business-loans\/emergency-business-loans\/\">money for an emergency<\/a>, such as to cover payroll during a slow period or to buy equipment that has failed, this will influence what type of financing you apply for.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>How much can I afford to borrow?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It\u2019s important to consider interest rates and repayment terms and really look at how much money you expect to make from your LLC. If you can\u2019t make monthly minimum payments, you may do a lot more harm to your business than the good the financing can provide.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>What are my qualifications? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a good idea to start by knowing your credit scores, annual revenue and other financial information. Any lender is going to base their decision on lending to you on these factors, and you don\u2019t want to be surprised. It\u2019s a better use of your time to apply for loans you\u2019re more likely to be approved for.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37f8a75 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"37f8a75\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0322b34 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0322b34\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24aa509 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"24aa509\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Get started with Swoop's business funding platform<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed48cf9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ed48cf9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use Swoop to cut through the noise and find the financing that\u2019s right for you.
