SBA loans
SBA loans for small business are partially guaranteed by the federal Small Business Administration, which reduces lender risk and opens doors for companies that don't fit conventional credit boxes. The SBA doesn't lend money directly. Instead, SBA lenders make the loan, and the SBA backs a portion of it. Croftbrook Capital is a licensed commercial business-loan broker, not a lender. We connect you to SBA 7 a lender partners, prepare your application, and negotiate terms.
Hollywood businesses use SBA business loan programs to buy real estate along Federal Highway, acquire equipment for marine repair shops near the Intracoastal, refinance expensive debt, or fund working capital during seasonal dips. The SBA 7(a) is the most flexible: up to $5 million for almost any business purpose. SBA 504 loans finance owner-occupied real estate and heavy equipment. SBA Express speeds approvals for smaller amounts.
SBA loans
You must operate a for-profit small business in an eligible industry. Most retail, service, and light manufacturing companies in Hollywood qualify. Nonprofits, passive real estate investors, and speculative ventures don't. The SBA small business administration sets size standards by industry, but most businesses with fewer than 500 employees fit.
Lenders look at credit history, cash flow, collateral, and owner equity. You don't need perfect credit. You do need a track record or a solid plan. Startups can qualify under sba business startup loan programs if the owner has industry experience and skin in the game. Sba loans for startup companies typically require a detailed business plan and at least 10 percent down payment.
How it works
Call (954) 250-9748 or visit us at 2500 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, FL 33020. We'll review your situation, pull together financials, and match you to the SBA lender most likely to approve your deal. We know which banks move fast and which ones specialize in startups versus established companies. You hand us tax returns, bank statements, and a brief narrative. We build the package and shepherd it through underwriting.
Timeline varies. Expect 45 to 90 days from application to funding. Startup loan sba deals take longer because lenders dig deeper into projections. If you need money in two weeks, consider our working capital or business lines of credit options instead.
A boutique fitness studio near Young Circle wanted to open a second location in Hallandale Beach. The owner had been profitable for three years but had already tapped personal savings. She needed $200,000 for leasehold improvements, equipment, and six months of operating reserves. We brokered an SBA 7(a) loan that covered the full amount with a longer repayment term than any conventional bank would offer. The relationship mattered: her lender wanted to see community ties and a plan that made sense for South Florida's fitness market.
