Capitol National Bank, through its Government Guaranteed Lending Division, is an approved lender with the U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA). We have the expertise and ability to expedite your SBA loan request. We participate in various SBA loan programs designed to suit your short term and long term borrowing needs.

SBA loans offer a number of potential advantages including, lower down payment requirements and the ability to spread financing over a longer period of time. SBA interest rates are market driven with rate maximums published by the SBA.

SBA financing may be right for you if:

You are starting or buying a new business;
You have been in business only a short time;
You are short on collateral;
You need to refinance existing debt to improve cash flow;
You need additional working capital to finance rapid growth;
You only have 10% to 15% available to put down on the purchase of a business; or
You are unable to obtain financing with reasonable terms through conventional methods.

The SBA 7(a) Loan Guaranty Program is one of SBA’s primary lending programs. It provides loans to small businesses unable to secure financing on reasonable terms through normal lending channels. Eligible for-profit businesses must have reasonable owner equity to invest, be engaged in business in the United States and each owner with a 20% or greater stake in the business must be willing to make a personal guarantee;

The SBA 504 Loan Program provides growing businesses with long-term financing for purchases of fixed assets, such as buildings and heavy equipment. Eligible businesses include small and medium-sized companies where the financing will help them create and retain jobs for the local community. Eligible for-profit business entities must have net worth of less than $15 million, net income of $5 million or less, commercial property must be owner occupied and each owner with a 20% or more stake in the company must make a personal guarantee;

The Working Capital CAPLine Program is designed to help small businesses meet short-term and cyclical working capital needs. The program provides a revolving line of credit that can be used for business working capital needs such as accounts payable, inventory, and payroll financing.
