Apply for an SBA Loan

The San Francisco Business Times' Top 100 Fastest Growing Private Companies Awards is based on a percentage of revenue increase over a three-year period. The list identifies the most exciting companies that are powering the Bay Area's robust economy. SmartBiz ( www.smartbizloans.com) is the #1 marketplace for online SBA loan originations in the country.

SmartBiz grew out of the 2008 financial crisis when the banks that were supposedly “too big to fail” were not equipped to provide the funding small businesses needed for growth. This left a funding gap of hundreds of billions of dollars which banks left on the side-lines, hampering small business from investing in their businesses and putting people back to work. So-called “Alternative lenders” offered to fill the funding gap at sky-high APRs up to 150%. Because banks could not efficiently fund small business loans, the small business owner paid the price — literally!
