SBA Express Loans
Faster SBA financing with loan amounts up to $500,000 and expedited turnaround. Available as term loans or revolving lines of credit for businesses needing quick access to capital.
Is This Loan Right for You?
An SBA Express loan is right for you if you need fast access to business capital up to $500,000 with less paperwork than a standard SBA 7(a) loan. The expedited process means you can get approved in days rather than weeks, available as a term loan or revolving line of credit. Under SBA Standard Operating Procedure 50 10, Express Lenders hold delegated authority to approve loans without SBA review, enabling decisions within 36 hours. You will need a minimum credit score of 680 and a demonstrated business track record. The SBA guarantees up to 50% of the loan, lower than the 75 to 85% on standard 7(a), which may result in slightly higher rates of Prime plus 4.5 to 6.5%. Funds can be used for working capital, equipment, inventory, and minor real estate improvements. Compared to standard SBA 7(a) loans offering up to $5 million, Express trades maximum funding for speed and simplicity. Choose SBA Express when timing is critical and your need is $500,000 or less.
