SBA 7(a) loans up to $250,000 and ERC up to $26,000 per employee available in the Portal — Log In or Sign Up.
If you have additional individual owners of your business with less than 20% ownership, please follow the steps below to save time and avoid delays in processing your SBA 7(a) loan application.
The SBA requires 100% of business ownership to be reflected on the application. All owners of 20% or more of the business are required to be personal guarantors for an SBA 7(a) loan.
The Owner Details screen in the application is intended for the primary individual owner, which is also the primary guarantor. You can include additional owners of the business in an individual, guarantor, or business capacity on the next screen.
Pro Tip: If you have business specific questions about the 7(a) application, our loan specialists are your best resource to handle these inquiries. We encourage you to reach out to your assigned Relationship Manager via the Connect to Relationship Manager feature on your 7(a) Portal Dashboard.
