The questions most owners need answered before they talk to a lender.

How we write answers

We state SBA's rule and cite where it comes from. We do not estimate approval odds or promise a decision time. SBA publishes none for SBA Express, and its public loan file lists approved loans only. When a lender sets the answer, we say so.

Ask lending partners about your loan

Tell us the amount you need and what it is for. We refer you to lenders that may fund businesses like yours, and it costs you nothing.
