The Small Business Administration (SBA) is an arm of the federal government best know for loan programs. Their loans are obtained more easily when you have less than perfect credit. They are also repayable over a longer period of time than most standard business loans from a bank or credit union. However, to counterbalance these advantages, the federal government can be very strict about repayment plans. As a result, SBA loan default and even SBA loan foreclosure can be commonplace. Studies have shown that, of all of the SBA franchise loans offered between 2003 and 2012 (representing over $1.5 billion), 28% defaulted.
