FAQ

Common questions

Straight answers to what Gilbert owners ask most, from a local broker.

Start by contacting Fairmont Lending with basic business information and your financing goal. We review your situation, identify the best SBA program fit, and connect you with lenders in our network who specialize in Gilbert-area commercial deals.

SBA Loan amounts in Gilbert typically range from $50,000 to $5 million depending on the program and business need. Larger requests for real estate or major expansions can go higher with strong financials and collateral to support the loan.

SBA Loans generally take 45 to 90 days from application to funding due to government review and lender underwriting. The timeline depends on how quickly you provide documentation and whether the transaction involves real estate or complex business structures.

Most SBA lenders look for personal credit scores above 650, though some will work with lower scores if business financials are strong. Your payment history, debt levels, and business cash flow matter more than a single credit number in the approval decision.

SBA Loans typically require collateral, often the assets you're purchasing or existing business real estate and equipment. Lenders will take a lien position on available assets, and personal guarantees from owners with 20 percent or more ownership are standard.

Expect to provide two years of business tax returns, personal tax returns, a current profit and loss statement, balance sheet, and business debt schedule. Lenders also request a business plan or use-of-funds letter explaining how the capital supports growth in Gilbert's economy.

We arrange SBA loans across Gilbert and the Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, including Higley, Guadalupe, Sun Lakes and more.
