Why SBA

Why Business Owners Choose SBA Loans

SBA loans are the gold standard of small business financing — and for good reason.

Lowest Rates Available

SBA loans offer rates significantly below alternative lenders, MCAs, or online term loans. Your money goes further.

10-Year Terms

Longer repayment terms mean lower monthly payments and more cash flow to reinvest in your business.

Government-Backed

The SBA guarantees a portion of every loan, which means better terms and more favorable approval criteria for you.

New Underwriting Standard

October 2026 SBA Guidelines Changes (SOP 50 10 8.1)

The SBA has enacted major revisions including a 1.25x DSCR mandate, historical cash flow requirements, and tighter credit box limits. Read our full breakdown of how these changes impact your borrowing power.

FAQ

Common Questions

What credit score do I need?
600 or higher for all majority owners. If you're close, apply anyway — our team can advise you on your options.
How much can I borrow?
Up to $1,000,000 for working capital, or up to $5 million for fixed assets like equipment and real estate. Your exact amount depends on your business revenue.
What's the interest rate?
Rates start as low as Prime + 1% — the lowest rates available for small business financing. Significantly lower than MCAs, online term loans, or lines of credit.
How long does the process take?
Pre-qualification takes minutes. The full process from application to funding varies based on documentation, but our team keeps things moving as fast as possible.
Can I get an SBA loan with a Merchant Cash Advance?
You'll need to be at least 6 months past your last MCA. If you're not sure, apply and we'll let you know where you stand.
Do I need to be a U.S. citizen?
Yes — as of 2026, SBA loans require 100% U.S. citizen ownership. If this doesn't apply, we have other loan options available.
Can trucking or freight transportation companies qualify for SBA loans?
Under updated 2026 SBA SOP 50 10 guidelines and bank credit boxes, long-haul freight carriers and owner-operators are generally restricted from standard SBA Express programs. However, Arkadian Capital actively funds transportation businesses through our dedicated Trucking Business Loans program with credit scores down to 500 and funding in 24–48 hours.
