SBA Loans
What is an SBA loan, and how does it differ from other loans?
SBA (Small Business Administration) loans are government-backed loans that offer small businesses more favorable terms, such as lower down payments, longer repayment periods, and competitive interest rates. They differ from conventional loans because a portion of the loan is guaranteed by the U.S. government, which reduces risk for lenders like us.
What types of SBA loans does Plentiful Investment Group facilitate?
We primarily assist businesses with common SBA programs such as the SBA 7(a) Loan (for general business purposes, including working capital, equipment, and real estate) and the SBA 504 Loan (specifically for major fixed assets like real estate and machinery). We'll expertly guide you through the complexities of each.
Am I eligible for an SBA loan?
SBA eligibility requirements are quite specific and include factors like being a for-profit business, operating in the U.S., demonstrating a need for the loan, and having reasonable owner equity. We will help you assess your eligibility and prepare your application to meet all SBA guidelines.
How can Plentiful Investment Group help me with an SBA loan application?

Do I own the equipment after financing it?
In most equipment financing agreements, you will own the equipment at the end of the financing term once all payments are made. We'll clearly outline the terms of ownership in your specific agreement.

Yes, we often provide financing options for both new and used equipment, depending on the asset's condition and appraised value.
