We are offering a series of workshops on different subjects related to starting/running a small business led by SCORE volunteers, the nation’s largest network of expert business mentors. In this workshop, join Lionel Davila to learn about SBA Access to Capital.

Leo Davila with the SBA will discuss the SBA-guaranteed loans program including eligibility, use, and other details.

You will learn about the different loan programs including 7A, CDC/504, and Microloan that the SBA will guarantee for your lender. Also, Leo will cover when SBA guaranteed loans are appropriate, the benefits for small businesses, eligibility, loan details, and approved use of loan proceeds.

Lionel “Leo” Davila has been a Lender Relations Specialist with the SBA since 2011. Prior to joining the SBA, Leo performed medical administration for the Department of Defense at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. From 1988 to 2002 Leo was the Economic Development Program Manager for the San Antonio Housing Authority. Also, he performed economic development in Massachusetts where he managed a micro-loan program and provided small business bilingual training.
