Access to Capital (www.sba.gov/financialassistance) The SBA works with private and nonprofit lending partners to help tens of thousands of businesses each year, currently managing a portfolio of over $83 billion in 7(a), 504, and microloans.

28

7(a) Loan Guaranties — The SBA offers government guaranties on loans (up to $5 million) made by commercial lenders to help expand access to capital for business owners who face challenges in getting approved for financing. The SBA guarantees a portion of 7(a) loans made and administered by commercial lending institutions. Loans can be guaranteed for a variety of general business purposes.

30

504 CDC Loan Guaranties — These are long-term, fixed-rate loans (up to $5.5 million) for major assets such as real estate and heavy equipment. Loans are delivered by certified development companies (CDC) which are private, non-profit corporations. CDCs work with the SBA and private lenders to provide the financing. The SBA guarantees a portion of these loans.

32

Microloans — These loans (up to $50,000) are designed for small businesses needing small scale financing and technical assistance for start-up or expansion. They are delivered through intermediary lenders, which are nonprofit community-based organizations with experience in lending and technical assistance.

33

Surety Bonds — A surety bond is a type of insurance that guarantees performance of a contract. If one party does not fulfill its end of the bargain, then the surety bond provides financial compensation to the other party. The SBA guarantees bonds issued by a surety company in order to encourage the surety company to provide bonds to small businesses.

35

Opportunities in Government Contracting (www.sba.gov/contracting) The SBA leads federal efforts to deliver at least 23 percent of federal contracts to small businesses.
