In this episode of Financial Cents, John Lewis, senior vice president and regional commercial manager at National Bank of Arizona, joins host Brent Cannon, executive vice president and director of community banking at National Bank of Arizona, to discuss 5 things most people probably don’t know about SBA loans.

“The Small Business Administration, or SBA, partners with financial institutions like National Bank of Arizona to be able to provide loans to small businesses. For the bank, these loans are guaranteed by the federal government up 85%,” says John. “This guarantee then allows banks to be able to provide more flexible terms for small business owners than they may ordinarily be able to get.”

“SBA loans can be used for a wide variety of things,” says John, “from short-term working capital to long-term working capital, in addition to acquiring assets like equipment or commercial real estate.”
