What You'll Get

A checklist assessment of whether a business appears to meet SBA 7(a) eligibility criteria, flagging any potential disqualifiers before you invest time in a full application.

The Prompt

Copy and paste this
Run through SBA 7(a) loan eligibility criteria for this business: [business name], [industry], [years in operation], [estimated annual revenue], [ownership structure, e.g., single owner, LLC], loan purpose: [purpose]. Flag any eligibility concerns.

Tips

This is a screening tool, not a legal determination — always confirm SBA eligibility requirements on SBA.gov for the current program year, as eligibility rules change periodically.
