SBA Loan FAQ

How long does the SBA loan process take?

SBA 7(a) loans typically take 30-60 days from application to funding. SBA Express loans can be approved in as little as 36 hours. SBA 504 loans take 60-90 days due to the dual-lender structure. TrustScore's relationships with Preferred Lenders help accelerate this timeline.

What credit score do I need for an SBA loan?

Most SBA lenders look for a minimum credit score of 650-680. However, the SBA considers the overall application including business cash flow, collateral, and management experience. Scores below 650 may still qualify with strong business financials.

What documents do I need?

Typically: 3 years of personal and business tax returns, YTD profit & loss statement, balance sheet, bank statements (6-12 months), business plan (for startups), SBA forms 1919 and 1920, and personal financial statement (SBA Form 413).

Do I need collateral for an SBA loan?

SBA loans do require collateral when available, but the SBA does not decline loans solely due to insufficient collateral. Personal guarantees from owners with 20%+ ownership are standard.

Can startups get SBA loans?

Yes. SBA Microloans (up to $50,000) are designed for startups. SBA 7(a) loans are also available to startups with a solid business plan, relevant industry experience, and adequate owner equity injection (typically 10-30%).
