AUTHORIZED SBA LENDERS IN PUERTO RICO
The 7(a) Loan Program is SBA’s primary program for helping start-up and existing small businesses, with financing guaranteed for a variety of general business purposes.

This reduces the risk to the lender but not to the borrower, who remains obligated for the full debt, even in the event of default.
