Compare an SBA loan offers from 50 lenders for Vermont businesses — Burlington, Montpelier, and Rutland and beyond. One application, real offers in about 24 hours, no effect on your credit.
Vermont runs on food and beverage, tourism, and manufacturing. Whatever you operate — from Burlington, Montpelier, and Rutland to the rest of the state — EQ Funding puts your file in front of 50 lenders that compete to fund it, entirely online. One application, real offers in about 24 hours, no effect on your credit to compare.
Instead of walking Vermont bank branches one at a time, 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 — not whatever the first banker happened to offer. SBA-backed options included.
Reach Vermont’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 real offers — side by side on APR, term, and payment.
One signature. Funds wire direct from the lender. Median: under 2 days end-to-end.

No. The entire process is online — you apply, compare offers, and accept from anywhere in Vermont. 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.
