SBA loans are federally guaranteed lending products that reduce lender risk, which translates into longer terms and more flexible underwriting for you. The Small Business Administration backs a portion of the loan, encouraging banks to fund deals they might otherwise decline. The SBA 7(a) program covers almost any business purpose, from purchasing inventory to refinancing debt, while the 504 loan focuses on owner-occupied commercial real estate and heavy equipment. Because Plateau Lending is a broker, we compare multiple lenders simultaneously and match your Fletcher Hills business to the institution most likely to approve your file quickly, often cutting weeks from the timeline compared to walking into a single bank branch.
