Qualified Borrowers:
To qualify for the SBA Loan Program, the borrower must be a "for profit enterprise" and a small business as defined in the size guidelines of the SBA (Title 13 of the CFR, Part 121). Size standards define the maximum size that a firm, including all of its affiliates, may be for eligibility as a small business for SBA programs. For the applicable size standard for your business, see the SBA's Table of Small Business Size Standards that are matched to SIC codes for standards established by the SBA at http://www.sba.gov/size.
