Major SBA Tennessee Small Business Loan Programs SBA provides a number of financial assistance programs for small businesses including the 7(m), 7(a), 504 and disaster assistance loans.- 7(m) Microloans

Under this program, it is the SBA that does the determination for a loan. Certain applicants -- such as veterans, minorities, exporters, rural small business owners and certain specialized businesses -- can be "prequalified" by the SBA before they approach a bank. The SBA judges the applicant on character, credit, experience and reliability rather than assets. May be for loans up to $250,000. - Low Documentation Loans
Small businesses looking for less than $150,000 may qualify for a "low doc" loan, which simply means less paperwork. - 504 SBA Loans
