What to Do After Your Business Loan Was Rejected

It’s important to note that a traditional SBA loan isn’t the end-all, be-all of financing options.

There are quite a few alternatives, including a home equity investment, which can be a great choice for small business owners who either don’t fit the criteria for loan approval or were rejected by a traditional lender.

Though standard loans often have fairly low interest rates, the downside is that the timeline for funding is quite slow — up to three months — and the process frequently requires both a hard credit pull and site inspection. If speed and cash flow are priorities, a home equity investment from a company like Hometap can get you the money you need in as little as three weeks with no monthly payments and zero interest.
