If you’ve asked a bank for $5,000 to buy stock, a sewing machine or a second-hand fridge for a food business, you already know how that conversation goes. The amount is too small for them to bother with, your credit file is too thin, and there’s nothing to secure the loan against. The SBA microloan programme exists for precisely this gap: loans that run from a few hundred dollars up to $50,000, with the average loan sitting at about $13,000.
