Compare an SBA loan offers from 50 lenders for California businesses — Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Jose and beyond. One application, firm offers in about 24 hours, no effect on your credit.
For California businesses, sba loans through EQ Funding means one application instead of a stack of bank visits — your file goes to 50 lenders that compete to fund it, with firm offers in about 24 hours and no effect on your credit to compare. SBA-backed options included.
You apply once and the lenders most likely to approve a business like yours bid for the deal. You compare an SBA loan side by side and take the best rate and terms, rather than whatever the first banker happened to offer.
California is the largest and most varied small-business economy in the United States. Software and venture-backed startups cluster around the Bay Area and Silicon Valley, entertainment and media concentrate in Los Angeles, biotech in San Diego, and the Central Valley is one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world. The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach move a large share of the nation’s imports, supporting thousands of logistics, trucking, and warehousing businesses.
Real estate and operating costs run high in California, so working capital, equipment, and commercial real estate financing are in constant demand. California is also one of the few states with a commercial financing disclosure law (SB 1235) that requires providers to show standardized cost terms — which rewards comparing offers side by side, exactly how EQ Funding works.
Reach California’s most active business lenders in a single form instead of applying to each one.
Comparing offers is a soft pull. A hard inquiry only happens once you accept a specific lender.
First offers in about 24 hours and funding in as little as 48 — far faster than a local bank queue.
Six questions. No documents required to start. No effect on your credit score.
Review the 8–12 lenders matched to your profile and choose who to apply to. Your file goes only to the lenders you select.
We negotiate the best terms with each lender you selected and send you their firm offers — side by side on APR, term, and payment.
One signature. Funds wire direct from the lender. Median: under 2 days end-to-end.
Yes. California’s commercial financing disclosure law (SB 1235) requires providers to disclose standardized cost terms on many small-business offers, which makes them easier to compare. EQ Funding is built around that comparison — you see competing offers from 50 lenders and choose the best one, rather than taking a single quote at face value.
Yes. EQ Funding serves businesses throughout California, from Los Angeles to Sacramento, entirely online. There is no branch visit — you apply once and compare offers from 50 lenders wherever you operate in the state.
Most California businesses see first offers within about 24 hours and can fund in as little as 48 hours after accepting. SBA-backed options take longer but carry the lowest rates.
No. The entire process is online — you apply, compare offers, and accept from anywhere in California. There is no in-person meeting and no paperwork to start; lenders request documents only after an offer is on the table.
Nothing, and no. EQ Funding is free to you — lenders pay a fee when your deal closes, never the borrower. Comparing offers uses a soft pull with no effect on your credit; a hard inquiry only happens once you accept a specific lender.
SBA 7(a) is the most flexible — up to $5M for working capital, equipment, real estate, or business acquisition. SBA 504 is specifically for major fixed assets (commercial real estate, heavy equipment) with longer amortizations and below-market rates.
Realistic timeline is 30–90 days end-to-end including SBA underwriting. The trade-off is the lowest rate available in commercial lending and 10–25 year amortizations that no other loan product can match.
SBA 7(a) lenders typically require 680+ FICO, though some accept 640+ with strong revenue. SBA 504 has similar requirements. Personal financial statements are reviewed alongside business performance.
Up to $5M for SBA 7(a). SBA 504 also caps at $5.5M for most projects. Real estate and equipment-heavy projects fit best at the higher end; working-capital uses tend to be $50K–$500K.
SBA loans over $50K typically require collateral. Approved SBA lenders take what's "reasonably available" — business assets, real estate, and personal guarantees. They won't decline solely for lack of collateral if the business is otherwise strong.
Six questions. Two minutes. No effect on your credit score. Firm offers from 50 lenders within 24 hours.
