Thankfully, if you need funding, there are ways to acquire it&mdash;through programs like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franchisegator.com\/info\/small-business-loans\/\">SBA loan<\/a>. And you may be surprised at just how much you can borrow (here&rsquo;s a hint: the max number uses more than one comma). All it takes is knowing your options, having a solid business plan, and filling out a few documents.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.franchisegator.com\/\">Franchise Gator<\/a> loves empowering people to become business owners. In this article, we&rsquo;re going to show you how to obtain SBA funding for your business ventures&mdash;and why franchising makes this process way easier. As we&rsquo;ll cover below, there are various options for getting an SBA loan to buy a business, and many of those loans give favor to solid business plans and established histories of success. Read on to get one step closer to your goal!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is It Hard To Get an SBA Loan for a Business?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It&rsquo;ll take some work, but you can absolutely do it! Out of the three lending programs the SBA offers&mdash;7(a), CDC\/504, and microloans&mdash;there is a wide variety of options available for small business loans. The SBA also offers several ways to assist various <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sba.gov\/federal-contracting\/contracting-assistance-programs\/small-disadvantaged-business\" rel=\"noopener\">minority groups<\/a> looking to become business owners. What&rsquo;s more, some of these loans are even easier to be approved for when starting a franchise. Getting a loan may feel challenging, but with a solid business plan and the right resources at your fingertips, funding is within your grasp.<\/p>\n<p>What disqualifies you from getting an SBA loan? In general, a few things may hurt your chances, but not shut them down entirely:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Having a criminal record<\/li>\n<li>Past history of defaulting on loans<\/li>\n<li>A credit score below 690<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, some types of SBA loans have restrictions based on your business size, profit margins, and what you intend to do with the money. For example, lenders cannot approve <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sba.gov\/funding-programs\/loans\/504-loans\" rel=\"noopener\">504 loans<\/a> for businesses with a tangible net worth of more than $15 million, nor approve <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sba.gov\/funding-programs\/loans\/microloans\" rel=\"noopener\">microloans<\/a> for purchasing real estate. Certain industries may also be ineligible for some SBA loans; specifically, 504 loans <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/_HGI1LcjmBE?t=76\" rel=\"noopener\">are not for<\/a> lending businesses, political businesses, or life insurance companies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Much Money Does the SBA Give You?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The amount of money you can get from an SBA loan depends on which lending program it comes from:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sba.gov\/funding-programs\/loans\/microloans\" rel=\"noopener\">Microloans<\/a>, the smallest SBA loan program, typically cap out at $50,000 and average $13,000.<\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sba.gov\/funding-programs\/loans\/504-loans\" rel=\"noopener\">504 loans<\/a> max out at $5 million per project (in <em>some<\/em> cases, you can borrow for multiple projects).<\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sba.gov\/partners\/lenders\/7a-loan-program\/types-7a-loans\" rel=\"noopener\">7(a) loans<\/a> offer various rates and maxes&mdash;some as low as $350,000, but others are much higher!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As a quick side note, it&rsquo;s worth knowing that <em>technically<\/em>, the SBA is not giving you the money. Instead, the SBA partners with a group of trustworthy lenders, many of which apply to be part of the SBA&rsquo;s directory. These lenders are who you&rsquo;re borrowing from when you take out an SBA loan.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How Much Can an SBA Loan Go Up To?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>SBA loans can reach pretty high amounts! A <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sba.gov\/funding-programs\/loans\/504-loans\" rel=\"noopener\">504 loan<\/a> can go up to $5 million, but certain 7(a) loans can even go beyond that! Keep in mind, though, lenders aren&rsquo;t going to hand that money out to anybody who applies. Most likely, those who get approved for larger loans will have a strong business model and clear plans for what they&rsquo;re doing with that much capital. It&rsquo;s not impossible to get a big amount, but the lender wants to feel confident that you&rsquo;ll be able to pay the money back within the terms of the loan.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s where franchising comes in. Franchises offer small business owners a much easier route to obtaining funding: they equip you with the stable business model lenders want to see, along with numerous examples of past success. 504 loans, in particular, are <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.growthcorp.com\/franchise-financing-with-the-sba-504-loan-program\/#:~:text=The%20504%20Loan%20Program%20can,to%20a%20small%20business%20owner.\" rel=\"noopener\">well suited<\/a> to the needs of starting a franchise. As long as you pick the right franchise for your location, you already have a much higher chance of approval.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Franchise Gator: More Money, Fewer Problems<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Most small businesses don&rsquo;t make it out of their <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/advice\/what-percentage-of-small-businesses-fail\/\" rel=\"noopener\">first three years<\/a>, and for a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/advice\/small-business-lending-statistics\/#:~:text=SBA%20loans%20have%20a%2049,%24764%20billion%20to%20small%20businesses.\" rel=\"noopener\">good portion of them<\/a>, the cause is simple: insufficient capital.
