FUNDING OPTIONSBA loan preparation

Prepare for an SBA-backed lending conversation

Identify the likely program, organize lender-ready records and understand that a participating lender—not NDR or the SBA alone—makes the credit decision.

What the funding review looks at

The goal is to turn a broad capital need into a clear, complete request. These are the first details to organize:

01

Business purpose and eligible use

Record the current fact, the desired outcome and the document that can support the request.

02

Financial statements and tax records

Record the current fact, the desired outcome and the document that can support the request.

03

Ownership, experience and repayment ability

Record the current fact, the desired outcome and the document that can support the request.

04

Program, lender and documentation fit

Record the current fact, the desired outcome and the document that can support the request.

What this does not promise

NDR is not the SBA and does not approve SBA loans. Participating lenders apply program and underwriting requirements.

The next documented step

Use the Position Scan to name the business goal, requested capital and current context. Do not send bank passwords, Social Security numbers, complete account numbers or government-ID images through the public form.
