Why landscaping use sba loans

Seasonality is the defining challenge — lines of credit smooth out winter months.

  • Mowers and trucks
  • Seasonal payroll
  • Materials
  • Winter cash flow

How it works

The SBA doesn't usually lend directly. It guarantees a portion (typically 50%–85%) of loans made by participating lenders, reducing lender risk.

The 7(a) program is the most flexible and can be used for working capital, equipment, refinancing and acquisitions. The 504 program finances major fixed assets like real estate and heavy equipment through a bank plus a Certified Development Company. SBA Express offers faster decisions on smaller amounts.
