RETAIL STORE SBA 7(a) LOANS
Staying competitive in the retail landscape requires not only a great product selection but also the right financial support. The SBA 7(a) loan program is a top financing choice for retail store owners due to its flexibility and accessibility. Whether you’re looking to expand your inventory or upgrade your store's layout, this program is designed for small business owners and offers key benefits such as:
Longer Repayment Terms
The SBA 7(a) program offers extended repayment options, with terms up to 10 years for working capital, equipment, and other business uses, and up to 25 years for real estate purchases. Loans under 15 years can be prepaid anytime without penalties. For loans over 15 years, penalties apply for paying off more than 25% within the first three years: 5% in year one, 3% in year two, and 1% in year three. After three years, all loans are penalty-free.
Competitive Interest Rates
Leverage the competitive interest rates of SBA 7(a) loans to cut your financing costs. With a government-backed guarantee reducing our risk, we can offer more attractive rates than traditional business lenders.
Lower Down Payments
The government guaranty also enables small business owners to secure financing with lower down payments compared to traditional business loans, typically up to 20% of the total project cost but in some cases as low as 0%.
Flexible Use of Funds
The SBA 7(a) loan program is widely regarded as a top choice for small businesses due to its unmatched flexibility. Unlike many traditional loans that impose strict limitations, 7(a) loans empower businesses to meet a variety of financial needs, making them versatile for nearly any business purpose or stage of growth.
