Ladies, are you looking to start a business, or expand your current business but need funding? The Small Business Administration works with approved lenders and community development organizations to offer SBA-guaranteed loans to help your businesses start, grow, expand and recover.

The SBA helps small businesses get funding by setting guidelines for loans and reducing lender risk. These SBA-backed loans make it easier for small businesses to get the funding they need.

The benefits of SBA-guaranteed loans include:

• Competitive terms: SBA-guaranteed loans generally have rates and fees that are comparable to non-guaranteed loans.
• Unique benefits: Lower down payments, flexible overhead requirements, and no collateral needed for some loans.
• Counseling and education: Some loans come with continued support to help you start and run your business.

Workshop Topics:

• Preparing for a Loan (the 5c’ of credit)
• Microloans
• 7(a) Loan Guarantee, SBA’s most common loan program
• 504 Loans, long-term, fixed rate financing of up to $5 million for major fixed assets
• SBA’s online tool, Lender Match (get matched with lenders)
