Veterans can apply for small business loans, lines of credit, merchant cash advances, and more forms of financing through banks, credit unions, and alternative lenders.
Some lenders offer special financing to veterans that has nothing to do with the SBA loan program. They might provide loans exclusively for veterans or lower restrictive loan requirements to help veterans qualify. Lenders understand veterans might not have as much time in business, but they realize their leadership skills, commitment, and work ethic make them less risky borrowers.
