When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Established owners comparing a smaller Express request with a larger operating, acquisition or export loan.

What to weigh carefully

  • The ownership-history requirement quoted here is specific to EZ/Express.
  • The bank’s general SBA FAQ contains credit-scoring language that needs current confirmation; it is not used as a universal eligibility promise.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. Which current underwriting and ownership rules apply to this program?
  2. What guarantee fee and bank charges will I pay?
  3. Will export receivables require monthly reporting?

Ask for written terms. Compare net cash received, total repayment, fees, payment timing and early-payoff costs for the same financing need.

Prepare your comparison

Use the same questions and figures for each offer you receive.

Alternatives to research

These are options for a related financing need, not a ranking or a claim of equivalent eligibility or pricing.
