The SBA does not loan money. A SBA loan is a loan made by a traditional lender which is “backed” or guaranteed by the SBA. This means that if you default on your loan, the SBA guarantees to pay your lender a certain percentage of the loan amount.

Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) also do not loan or grant money.
