What it is
Sba Loans, explained in plain English
SBA loans are loans made by a bank or non-bank lender and partially guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The guarantee lets lenders extend longer terms, larger amounts, and lower payments than they would offer on a conventional loan to the same borrower.
For Dallas businesses, the two most common programs are the SBA 7(a) (flexible-use working capital, acquisition, or refinance) and the SBA 504, used for owner-occupied real estate and large equipment. We package the file, route it to an SBA Preferred Lender, and handle the back-and-forth so you can focus on the business.
Compass Lenders is not a lender. We're a Dallas-based advisory firm that places your file with the lender most likely to fund it on the best terms, and we get paid only when your deal closes.
