SBA Update
Due to the current government shutdown, the Small Business Administration (SBA) is not issuing new loan approvals, but we still encourage applicants to apply to begin the process now. In the meantime, we will continue assisting new applicants in preparing for approval once the government reopens and support previously approved applicants on getting loans closed and funded.

This helps us determine if you may qualify for an SBA 7(a) loan. Although this initial step is crucial, it does not assure approval, as the final decision depends on a comprehensive evaluation of all the required documentation, verification and loan criteria.
