Common questions

SBA loans typically take 60–90 days from completed application to funding. SBA Express loans can be faster at 30–45 days. Bay Street expedites the process by pre-packaging your application.

The main programs are SBA 7(a) for general business purposes up to $5M, SBA 504 for real estate and equipment, and SBA Express for faster processing up to $500K. We’ll match you with the right program.

The SBA requires lenders to collateralize loans to the extent possible, but loans under $50K generally don’t require collateral. For larger loans, business assets and sometimes personal assets may be pledged.

Most SBA lenders require a minimum credit score of 680. However, a strong business performance and revenue history can sometimes offset a lower score. We’ll assess your full profile.
