SBA 7(a) and SBA 504 Loans
U.S. Bank is a Preferred SBA Lender under the SBA's Preferred Lender Program (PLP), which means the Small Business Administration delegates credit and eligibility decisions to U.S. Bank rather than requiring SBA headquarters review on every file. PLP status reduces SBA loan turnaround from the typical 6-8 weeks down to 2-3 weeks for most American small-business borrowers. SinglePoint originates SBA 7(a) loans (working capital, business acquisition, refinance) up to USD $5,000,000 and SBA 504 loans (owner-occupied CRE and major equipment) up to USD $5,500,000 project size.
The SBA guaranty reduces U.S. Bank's net credit exposure, allowing looser collateral and longer amortisation than conventional term loans — 10 years for working capital, 25 years for CRE. American business owners with less than 20% down on a commercial real estate purchase routinely use SBA 504 to get in with 10% down while the SBA Certified Development Company funds the second mortgage.
