SBA loans
The SBA 7(a) is a federally guaranteed term loan or line of credit that participating banks issue to small businesses. The SBA backs a portion of each loan, lowering the lender's exposure and encouraging approval for applicants who might not qualify for conventional financing.
Uses include purchasing owner-occupied commercial real estate, buying inventory or machinery, refinancing high-cost debt, or funding seasonal working capital. Because the SBA 7(a) loan guidelines permit broad use of proceeds, many Rialto entrepreneurs turn to this program when they need flexible, long-term capital.
SBA loans
Baseline SBA 7(a) loan qualifications include operating a for-profit business in the United States, demonstrating reasonable owner equity, exhausting other financing options, and showing ability to repay from cash flow. Most lenders expect a personal credit score above 680 and at least two years of tax returns.
Additional SBA 7(a) loan criteria cover size standards (typically fewer than 500 employees or industry-specific revenue caps), use of proceeds, and collateral. The SBA 7(a) loan application process involves submitting personal and business financial statements, interim profit-and-loss reports, and a narrative explaining how the funds will be deployed. Timberline Lenders pre-qualifies your file, organizes documentation, and submits the 7a SBA loan application to lenders in our network, shortening the timeline and improving presentation quality.
