Gap Financing & SBA Lending: How to help more borrowers
Amplio & Panel

SBA loans are strong tools to help borrowers achieve their business goals. Some borrowers, however, need more to make their projects work. Gap financing can be a powerful tool to help borrowers come up with their equity requirement, while preserving cash for growth. Our panel of nonprofit lenders will describe the gap financing tools they offer and provide examples of how gap loans can pair with SBA loans to set up borrowers for success.

3 key takeaways the audience will gain from the presentation or presentations

  • What is a gap loan and how does it work?
  • What kinds of gap loans are available in Minnesota and who offers them?
  • What does a gap loan and SBA loan structure look like?
