However, the SBA 504\/CDC program is funded in a different way than an SBA 7(a) loan and is less straightforward.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most cases, a bank or credit union will fund half of an SBA 504\/CDC loan. The second half is funded by a Community Development Corporation (CDC), which are registered 501(c)(3) non-profit companies whose purpose is to improve their local communities and the borrower, providing 40% and 10% of the loan respectively. CDCs are community-based partners that are certified and regulated by the SBA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SBA 504\/CDC loans can only be given to borrowers whose projects will promote business growth and job creation. This is determined through the application process by the CDC.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the larger national banks, including Wells Fargo, Chase, Bank of America and U.S. Bank, administer SBA 504\/CDC loans. However, the borrower has to find a local CDC to work with, which you can do through the SBA\u2019s search tool or by speaking with your local SBA office.<\/span><\/p>\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\">Best SBA Microloan lenders<\/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;\">SBA Microloans are meant for small businesses that may have difficulty securing more traditional business funding. These loans are for much smaller amounts \u2013 up to $50,000, although the average microloan is about $13,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike SBA 7(a) and SBA 504\/CDC loans, SBA Microloans are not managed by banks or traditional financial institutions. Instead, non-profit, community-based organizations get funds directly from the SBA and issue the microloan to approved borrowers.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SBA Microloan lenders work in their specific regions, so as a borrower, you\u2019ll have to find your own microloan intermediary.

The SBA offers a lender match system on its website that can find good options for you through a few quick questions. This match system can take two days to send you a list of lenders that you will contact on your own.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also a good idea to check with your local bank or the bank you do business with already to see if they have SBA programs available. Many banks and credit unions will put their existing customers first, providing personalized service for customers they already have a relationship with. According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stlouisfed.org\/publications\/regional-economist\/2023\/oct\/small-banks-big-impact-community-banks-small-business-lending\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, smaller, local banks actually lend more of their assets to small businesses than bigger banks, even though they may do less total volume.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, just because you use a local bank for your business banking doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019ll be the right fit for you. Your qualifications for an SBA loan should also play a role in helping you find the right SBA lender. For instance, non-banks may have lower thresholds for credit score requirements or time in business criteria thank traditional banks or credit unions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, make sure you understand the financial institution\u2019s application processes for SBA loans. It\u2019s a good idea to find a lender who will provide you with personal assistance through a designated loan specialist, especially if it\u2019s your first time applying for an SBA loan. Check their approval times and other timelines as well. You may want to apply with an SBA Preferred Lender to cut down on wait times.<\/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-c109c7e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c109c7e\" 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\">Compare SBA loans with other business loans<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb1c95e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cb1c95e\" 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 offer attractive repayment rates and terms, they\u2019re also extremely popular.

Other types of financing, such as business credit cards or lines of credit, may be easier to qualify for. While these options may not offer the attractive interest rates and repayment terms of SBA loans, they may be easier to get and faster to fund, depending on your lender.
