The Short Answer: SBA 7(a) loans go up to $5M with terms to 25 years, 504 loans up to $5.5M for real estate/equipment, and Microloans up to $50K. Start at SBA.gov/lender-match — you apply through an approved lender, not directly through the SBA.

Pick the Right SBA Program
Most people apply for 7(a) when they should use 504. If you need real estate or long-term equipment (10+ years), the 504 program offers better rates and longer terms.
