SBA Loans for E-Commerce

If you own an e-commerce business and want to take it to the next level, an SBA loan could be the perfect solution!

E-commerce is an area that many banks are just starting to understand. BFG has helped over 300 companies in the e-commerce area complete SBA transactions.

Why SBA Loans Are Perfect for E-Commerce Businesses

SBA loans are attractive because they typically offer lower interest rates, longer repayment terms, low down payments, and flexible use of funds compared to traditional bank loans.

E-commerce businesses can struggle to find traditional lenders because it’s a relatively new industry, and many lenders aren’t yet comfortable extending financing, especially if your business is less than 5 years old.

The guarantee offered by the SBA on your behalf to the lender helps bridge this gap.

SBA loans offer flexible options designed to meet your unique needs.

They can support your growth in the competitive, ever-changing e-commerce scene by:

  • Scaling operation
  • Leveraging technology
  • Increasing marketing and advertising

An e-commerce business owner might not be able to get a traditional bank loan, but when working with BFG, an SBA loan is within reach.

To qualify, your e-commerce company must:

  • Located in the U.S., though exports to other countries are encouraged, and can even help get your loan approved
  • Have fewer than 500 employees
  • Demonstrate the ability to repay the loan

Types of SBA Loans for E-Commerce Businesses

There are several SBA loan options for e-commerce businesses. Choosing the right SBA loan for your business will depend on what you need the money for and how much you need.

Both the 7a and 504 programs can be used to purchase owner-occupied real estate for your business.

BFG has successfully helped numerous e-commerce companies reduce their high FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) or similar fees by acquiring their own warehouses. Many of our clients choose to store the majority of their inventory in-house, lowering FBA inventory costs while still benefiting from the advantages FBA provides.

Where SBA 504 loans are mainly used for purchasing real estate, the 7a loan program can be used for both real estate and working capital.

Most of our e-commerce clients utilize the SBA 7a working capital loans to:

  • Refinance expensive debt, such as merchant cash advances, amazon loans, etc.
  • Marketing
  • Hiring
  • Purchasing inventory
  • Adding new product lines, such as private-label products
  • Technology upgrades
  • Mergers and acquisitions

Other than the use of proceeds, 7a and 504 loans differ in the amount you can borrow. 7a loans max out at 5M, whereas the 504 loans can go above 20M.
