SBA Combination Financing solutions

SBA Loan + Conventional Loan = Capital to Help You Achieve More

If you have a project that exceeds the SBA 7(a) $5 million limit, our combination financing program can be a creative solution. We pair an SBA 7(a) loan (of up to $5 million) with a conventional loan (amount based on need) and a line of credit when needed.
