SBA loans are business loan programs administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration, with two primary programs:

  • 7a — used for a wide range of financing
  • 504 used for long-term asset acquisition + refinancing

Have we lost you in the lingo? Bank of Central Florida’s SBA team can help — thanks to decades of experience processing SBA loans.

Bonus: Since Bank of Central Florida is a community bank, all underwriting, decision making + processing is done locally, which means money in your pocket faster. 💸 *
