SBA CAPLines

CAPLines support eligible short-term or cyclical business funding needs. The four programs address seasonal, contract, builder and working-capital needs.

What to ask the lender

Match the credit line to a documented operating cycle or eligible project. Ask which CAPLine applies, how draws are supported and when repayment is required.
