An SBA loan is a small business loan partially guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). The government does not lend the money directly. Instead, private partners like ProFed issue the funds, and the SBA backs a large portion of the risk. This backing may allow ProFed to consider a loan with lower down payments and longer repayment terms.
