Many women in the Her Texas network are building businesses that are ready for their next stage; hiring a team, purchasing equipment, opening a second location, or even buying commercial space.

Those kinds of moves often require capital. And for many founders, SBA loans are one of the most accessible ways to finance growth.

The challenge is that the SBA loan landscape can feel complicated if you’ve never explored it before.

To help simplify things, our partners at First Bank of the Lake have created a guide that breaks down two of the most common SBA loan programs: SBA 7(a) and SBA 504.

Inside the guide, you’ll learn:

  • The key differences between SBA 7(a) and SBA 504 loans

  • How each loan type can support business growth

  • What lenders look for during the application process

  • When SBA financing may make sense for your next move

For founders thinking about expansion, purchasing property, or investing in long-term growth, understanding these options can be an important first step.
