Why Was My SBA Loan Denied and What Can I Do About it?
“The Small Business Administration (SBA) is one of the biggest lenders to businesses in the U.S.—either providing loans directly, or by guaranteeing loans from other banks and financial institutions. The SBA has some rigorous criteria for the types of businesses it will lend money to, and meeting those requirements can be tough. Even after you’ve been through the application process, it’s possible that your SBA loan will be disqualified or denied.
If that happens, you’ll have questions—and we’re here with the answers. We’ll explain some of the common reasons that SBA loans are denied, let you know how to avoid them, and what to do if your business is still disqualified.”
What Happens if You Default on an SBA Loan? Your Questions, Answered
“Assistance from the Small Business Administration (SBA) has been essential for many small businesses, especially in the time of COVID. One of the main types of support that the SBA provides is financial, in the form of loans to small businesses.
During non-emergent times, getting an SBA loan can be difficult. They have strict requirements about the types of businesses they will lend to, and require extensive documentation. The COVID-19 pandemic has loosened some of these restrictions, as the SBA administers the Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) and the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. The need to quickly get funds to businesses has prompted the SBA to significantly simplify the application processes, making SBA loans much more common.”
COVID-19 Emergency Loan Checklist for Small Businesses
“The COVID-19 pandemic is creating significant issues for small businesses in the US and around the world. The economic impact, uncertainty, and major issues with revenue and cash flow have led to the US government authorizing a $2 trillion stimulus package (the CARES Act) to help individuals, SMEs, and corporations. Part of the CARES Act puts aside almost $400 billion in emergency funding for small businesses.
If you run a business, it’s important to understand what financial benefits you’re entitled to under these new arrangements. We’ll break down how you can get money through the federal stimulus package to help your business survive and a checklist to see if you qualify.”
Small Business Financial Assistance for COVID Recovery in 2021
“The Paycheck Protection Program has been incredibly successful at supporting small businesses through the pandemic, but we can’t rely on it forever. As PPP applications and funding come to an end, it’s time to look at other ways to fund your business through COVID recovery. We’ve gathered together some of your best options for continued financing, loans, and tax credits to keep your business running smoothly. ”
