BizCapital provides loans for working capital needs, asset acquisitions, expansions and start-up businesses. Our loans range from $100,000 to $6 million and are usually in the form of SBA, USDA, mezzanine and well-secured real estate loans.  

BizCapital’s loan products can offer more flexible terms than traditional lenders, often with less stringent underwriting criteria and more streamlined approval processes through its designation as an SBA Preferred Lender. Small businesses that may be unable to obtain financing from traditional banks, yet do not offer the return profile that many venture capitalists require, may be well suited for BizCapital’s financing solutions.
