Benefits of a Microloan for Small Businesses
|
Microloans are a great way for small businesses to get the funding needed to start or grow.
SBAC offers microloans as little as $1,000 up to $50,000. Obtaining a microloan with SBAC opens the opportunity for your business to qualify for annual business scholarships.
Beyond financing, our team provides ongoing guidance and free business counseling, empowering entrepreneurs to build businesses that are resilient and thriving.
