Small Business Administration (SBA) Loans

With some of the best loan terms on the market, our Small Business Administration programs give you more opportunities to grow your business and get the credit you need.

When expanding your business, a Small Business Administration (SBA) loan can help maximize your cash flow, provide more flexible structures and greater access to capital.

These loans are especially beneficial for small and medium sized businesses that may not have access to other financing at reasonable terms, as SBA loans offer below market rates and are fully fixed for term. All loans must comply with SBA requirements and meet Bank of America credit guidelines and approvals.

Both the SBA 504 and 7(a) offer more flexible structures, have lower down payments and longer maturities than conventional loans. One of our specialists will guide you through available credit options and help you identify an optimal solution.
