SBA guaranteed loans are available to all types of borrowers, to include sole proprietors, partnerships, and corporations. They provide lines of credits, term loans, and real-estate loans for all loan purposes, such as business acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures, and real estate purchase and improvement.
