What SBA loans am I eligible for?

IsIslaConfidence: High

Based on a business under 500 employees in a for-profit industry, three programs are worth a look:

  • 7(a) loans — up to $5M, working capital or expansion. Most common; broad eligibility.
  • 504 loans — fixed assets like real estate or equipment. Needs a CDC partner.
  • Microloans — up to $50K via SBA intermediaries. Fastest path for a newer business.

Next step: confirm your industry isn't on the SBA ineligible list and pull two years of financials.

Who it's for

Every industry also gets the shared back office — Finance, Marketing, and Procurement / Supply Orders.

The advisor

What Isla can do for your business

Built for small and mid-sized businesses without a full back office — Isla covers the parts that would otherwise fall through the cracks.

Real answers, instantly

Isla answers from grounded sources and shows the reasoning and confidence behind every response — not a canned script.

“When is my quarterly tax due?”

Daily market intelligence

Isla checks the SBA, state economic-development programs, and local chambers of commerce every morning for new funding and incentive opportunities.

“Any new grants for a Georgia retailer?”

Find the right professional

Need an accountant, bookkeeper, or attorney? Isla researches real local options, tracks a running shortlist, and hands off when a human should take it from here.

“I need a CPA who knows e-commerce.”

Compliance, tracked

Federal and state tax deadlines tracked automatically — Isla knows what's coming and when, and tells you before it matters.

“What filings are due this quarter?”

Compare vendors & incentives

Real research on vendor options and incentive programs your business may qualify for, with the trade-offs laid out — not guesswork.

“Payroll: Gusto vs. ADP for 8 staff?”

Type or talk — your call

Tap the mic and just talk, or keep it all in text. Isla follows the same conversation either way.

“Hey Isla, what did we spend on ads last month?”

    Review

    You get a drafted answer with its sources and a confidence score you can check.

  4. Step 4

    Act

    Approve the recommendation, add context to sharpen it, or escalate to a vetted human professional.

Isla's reasoning

See Isla's reasoning

Isla shows its work on every answer — and holds back when it shouldn't guess. Three real examples:

Auto-approved96%

Q: When is my quarterly estimated tax due?

April 15. Your next federal estimated payment (Q1) is due April 15, then June 16, Sept 15, and Jan 15.

Reasoning

  • Federal deadline confirmed via IRS.gov Form 1040-ES schedule.
  • Your state (Delaware) aligns its estimated-payment dates with the federal calendar.
  • No disaster-area extension in effect for your county.

Human hand-off

Find the right professional

When a question needs a licensed human — a tax position, a contract, a dispute — Isla hands off cleanly, with the full context it has gathered so far.

Isla attaches the conversation, the documents, and its own reasoning, so you're not starting from scratch with someone new.
