If you have stellar credit and plenty of money or collateral, this type of loan is easy to get and offers low interest rates. If, however, your credit is not so stellar or you are lacking in funds in the first place, these loans can be difficult to land. There is plenty of red tape, and lenders are looking to mitigate risk as much as possible. This means if you show signs of being a risk, such as poor credit, a poorly written business plan, lack of experience, or any number of other factors, you could be denied repeatedly.
Each financing option has good qualities and bothersome ones. The key is to research each one diligently, recognizing that if the other loans do not pan out, the SBA loan programs may be your only choice anyway.
