If you have a business, you need working capital. Whether you’re just starting out or have been in business for years, a Fountainhead SBA 7(a) loan can help you get the funds you need to keep your operations running smoothly.

What is an SBA loan?

It’s a loan guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA) and made by lenders like Fountainhead.

What Types of Businesses Are Eligible for SBA 7(a) Loans?

The vast majority of all privately held, for-profit businesses are eligible for an SBA loan.  They can be any of these entity types:

  • Sole proprietorships
  • Partnerships (general or limited)
  • Subchapter S corporations (S-corps)
  • Limited Liability Companies (LLC’s)

Get the Working Capital Your Business Needs to Run

The SBA 7(a) loan has many benefits that make it better than other forms of financing, like an ordinary conventional bank loan. The primary purpose of Fountainhead SBA 7(a) loans is to help small businesses with the working capital they need to grow, and you can use them for a variety of purposes, including:

  • Refinancing business debt
  • Supporting new equipment or facilities
  • Growing a business’s customer and/or employee base
  • Financing inventory
  • Paying for research and development

The SBA 7(a) loan product is an excellent option because it offers low down payments (often only 10%), longer terms, low-interest rates, and there are minimal lender closing costs associated with the loan. These benefits provide flexible repayment options to help fit anyone’s budget and requirements!
