Guide to SBA Lending and the SBA Advantages for Veterans

February 20, 2018

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) recognizes the importance of our veterans and offers them special benefits through their SBA loan programs. We have outlined those advantages in this guide in order to help you better understand SBA financing, the features of the programs and how to prepare for the loan application process. The SBA was created in 1953 to counsel, assist and protect the interests of small businesses. Eventually, the SBA established governmentguaranteed loan programs with benefits like longer repayment terms, lower down payments and more relaxed collateral requirements compared to conventional loans. The idea was to help businesses start and expand while stimulating the economy and helping to add jobs in the communities they serve.
