SBA loans
SBA loans are partially guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration, which allows lenders to extend longer terms and require smaller down payments than conventional commercial loans. You can use SBA 7(a) funds to buy owner-occupied commercial property, refinance existing debt, purchase equipment, or cover working capital needs. Repayment periods stretch up to 25 years for real estate and 10 years for equipment, spreading costs over time and preserving cash flow.

### A Lawndale Scenario
A family-owned auto-body shop on Prairie Avenue wanted to purchase its building and upgrade spray booths. The owners compared leasing indefinitely against buying with an SBA 7(a) loan. The SBA path offered a longer amortization and a manageable down payment, letting them own the property and modernize equipment without draining reserves. Scarletgate Loans brokered the financing, coordinating appraisals, environmental reviews, and lender requirements until closing.
