SBA Loans

Government-Backed Funding for Serious Business Growth

When you’re ready to make a major move — buy a building, expand operations, refinance debt, or even acquire another business — an SBA Loan from FlexLendCapital can help you get there.

Backed by the U.S. Small Business Administration, these loans offer longer repayment terms, lower interest rates, and higher loan amounts than most traditional business financing options.

What Is an SBA Loan?

An SBA loan is a small business loan partially guaranteed by the federal government. Because of that guarantee, lenders are able to offer you:

  • Competitive interest rates (often prime + 2–3%)

     

  • Long repayment terms — up to 10 years for working capital and 25 years for commercial real estate

     

  • Higher approval amounts — from $50,000 to $5,000,000

     

SBA loans are considered the gold standard for business financing because they combine affordability with flexibility.
