The SBA guarantees portions of these loans, but the loans are originated and serviced by participating lenders. For inquiries about your active SBA loan, your primary point of contact is the financial institution that provided the loan.
SBA loans are generally not subject to forgiveness. They are standard loans that require full repayment according to the agreed-upon schedule. Specific government programs may offer forgiveness under exceptional circumstances, but this is not a standard feature.
Eligibility generally requires the business to be for-profit, U.S.-based, have invested personal equity, and have sought other financing. The SBA also has size standards for small businesses, and lenders will assess your creditworthiness and business plan feasibility.
