Prepare before approaching a lender
- Estimate loan payments using the amount you expect to borrow.
- Compare SBA loans and seller financing, including their different requirements.
- Prepare a due-diligence checklist to discuss with your advisers.
- Read the SBA's official 7(a) program overview.
A calculator result is not an offer, eligibility decision or commitment from a lender. Confirm acquisition eligibility, required equity, fees, collateral and repayment obligations directly.
