SBA Express: program overview

- The same uses as 7(a), including revolving lines of credit, which Standard 7(a) term loans do not offer.
- Trade-off
- Faster turnaround and lighter paperwork, against a smaller guaranteed portion, which some lenders price for.

Small business loans available in Frisco
An SBA 7(a) loan made to a Frisco, Texas business is made by a participating lender, not by the SBA.
The lender underwrites it, sets the rate within the SBA maximum, and services it. What varies locally is
which lenders are active, not the program rules.
Common uses here are the same as everywhere: working capital,
equipment,
owner-occupied commercial real estate,
refinancing business debt, and
buying an existing business.
Insurance and closing
Most SBA lenders require hazard and, where the collateral is real property, property insurance in place
before closing. See commercial property insurance for businesses
and ways to ensure your SBA loan closes smoothly.
