Bridge financing
May be considered for a defined interim period. Its value depends on a credible exit, the full cost of capital, and the business’s ability to handle changing conditions.

Compare financing options by purpose, timing, and risk, not by a headline.
Bridge financing is one possible structure. Working-capital lines, term financing, equipment financing, equity, and SBA-guaranteed lending may suit different needs and timelines.
Capital readiness
The Small Business Administration’s 7(a) program provides a loan guarantee to participating lenders; businesses apply through lenders, not directly through Rockland or the SBA.
Consider with care
Useful questions before the next step.
Longer-term debt
A term loan or line may better match an enduring operating or asset need, but underwriting, collateral, amortization, and timing can differ materially.
SBA 7(a) loans
The SBA describes 7(a) as its primary business loan program, providing a guarantee to lenders. Eligibility and terms are determined through participating lenders and program rules.

Official source
Understand SBA 7(a) on the SBA’s own terms.
The SBA says its 7(a) program provides a loan guarantee to participating lenders. Businesses work directly with lenders; Rockland is not presented as an SBA lender.
