SBA loans
The U.S. Small Business Administration, or SBA, is a federal agency that provides loan guarantee programs to businesses that may not be able to get traditional bank loans and receive long-term, low interest rate funding. The SBA has a number of loan programs designed specifically for small and medium sized businesses, including microloans, SBA 7(a) loans, and CDC/504 loan program.

Business Line of Credit
With a business line of credit, lenders will establish a credit limit for a maximum amount of money they will lend you. You can draw as much as you need up to your limit and like a credit card; you pay interest only on the amount you borrow. Business Lines of Credit can help bridge the gap during seasonal lulls and other lean periods. A business line of credit can ensure that you always have the capital you need.
