Your SBA application: what to prepare before you apply.

October 2026 · The Fargo Funding Group

SBA financing can support major small-business investments, but preparation is essential. Gather your business and personal tax returns, current financial statements, and recent bank statements.

Prepare a concise business overview and explain exactly how the funds will be used. Include equipment quotes, purchase agreements, or project estimates when relevant.

Eligibility and documentation vary by program and lender. An organized application can help avoid preventable delays, but it does not guarantee approval or a specific timeline.
