Small Business Loans

What it is and how it works in San Jose

Most small business owners in San Jose don't need a particular product, they need the right one. 'Small business loans' is an umbrella term covering everything from a $15K working capital advance to a $4M SBA real estate loan. Our job is to map your needs to the right product, the right lender, and the right structure, without you spending weeks shopping it yourself.

Any debt capital extended to a business with fewer than 500 employees (the SBA's small business definition). In practice, that includes term loans, lines of credit, SBA loans, equipment financing, invoice factoring, revenue based financing, and merchant cash advances.

  2. 2

    We narrow the field to 2-4 product types that fit your file.

  3. 3

    We package and shop your application to the right subset of lenders.

    You sign and fund, typically within a week.

How San Jose businesses use Small Business Loans

Picking between MCA and term loan

A South San Jose auto shop saves $42K over 18 months by accepting our recommendation of a 24-month term loan instead of a 9-month MCA.

Building a capital stack

A West Valley manufacturer combines an SBA 7(a) for equipment and a fintech line of credit for working capital.

Refinancing

An Avenues restaurant consolidates four short term debts into one SBA payment after our refinance package.

The California angle

San Jose's lending market is unusually deep for a metro its size, with Zions, Mountain America, Celtic, and dozens of fintech funders all underwriting California deals aggressively. The wrong fit costs real money; the right fit compounds for years.
