SBA loans generally have lower down payments and extended terms, and there are many types:

Section 7(a) loans have terms ranging from 12 months to 25 years. Startup businesses are eligible. Owners must inject at least 20% of the total project costs. Purposes include: purchase of real estate, construction, renovation or lease-hold improvements, equipment, furniture, fixtures, inventory and in some cases working capital and debt refinance. Primis charges no points on these loans.
504 Program is an economic development program designed to create new jobs or retain existing ones. Benefits include low down payments (as low as 10%); soft costs and loan fees are included in the loan amount; the second trust carries a fixed rate of interest for the entire loan term. New construction is also eligible.

Contract CAPLine Loans are revolving lines of credit with terms of one to five years. The line of credit is secured by an assignable contract and may be drawn on during the term of contract for direct materials and direct labor costs required to complete the contract. Proceeds of the contract are applied to the draws and the remainder is deposited into the customer’s account. The guarantee fee on a Contract CAPLine can be as low as .25% for a one-year line of credit.

Export Working Capital Loan is designed to help small businesses export their products to the international market. Loan proceeds may be used for materials and labor to fill foreign orders.

Major benefit is longer loan terms (up to 30 years on real estate and 15 years on machinery/equipment to improve the cash flow of the business).
