SBA Loans for Micro Business

The U.S. Small Business Administration's Microloan Program offers small loans to start-up, new or growing micro/small businesses. Loans can be up to $35,000 but the average loan is about $13,000.

The SBA does not loan you the money directly. Instead they loan the money to a local nonprofit lending institution which then lends it to you. You are required to apply for the loan and they will make their decision based on your credit-worthiness. Loan terms are never more than 6 years.
