Advantages of SBA 7(a) Loans
SBA 7(a) loans’ features create significant advantages that make these loans attractive to eligible small businesses:
- Availability: May be available even if other financing options aren’t. The SBA’s guarantee gives lenders more reassurance, so they’re more willing to underwrite these loans.
- Maximum Interest Rates: Set by the SBA, so businesses know they’ll pay a fair and competitive rate.
- Loan Amounts: Available in a wide range of amounts, and they can be underwritten as a traditional loan or a line of credit. Depending on the program, loaned amounts can range from less than $150,000 up to $5 million.
Disadvantages of SBA 7(a) Loans
Despite their many advantages, there are also some drawbacks to SBA 7(a) commercial real estate loans that make them unsuitable for certain situations:
- Requirements: Businesses must meet the SBA’s eligibility requirements, which often include a credit check. Not all businesses are eligible.
- Prepayment Penalty: Potentially unsuitable in situations where businesses expect to pay off or refinance a loan in just a few years.
- Personal Guarantee: Business owners are still personally responsible for the loans even though the SBA also guarantees a portion of them.
- Approval Process: Although these loans are assumable, the SBA’s approval process for a transfer of ownership makes assuming these loans somewhat cumbersome.
- Adjustable Rate: The most common 7(a) loan is a quarterly adjustable.
