Start My Soft Quote
The SBA said "yes", your payroll date didn't get the memo.
You've done everything right.
You found an SBA-approved lender. You submitted financials. You waited through underwriting. And now you're conditionally approved, which is great news for your business, but not particularly helpful for your payroll date next week, or the lease renewal your landlord is waiting on.
The SBA process moves at its own pace. Your business doesn't have that luxury.


The SBA Isn't Slow Because It's Broken
SBA loans are well-structured, low-cost financing. The timeline is the tradeoff. Businesses like yours don't run on lender timelines, and you need capital before the SBA process catches up to it.

Spectra Funds in 1-3 Business Days
We're a direct balance-sheet lender, which means no SBA-guarantee process, no secondary-review queue, no government-approval chain. We underwrite and fund in days, not months.

Built to Be Paid Off When SBA Closes
Most lenders penalize early payoff. Spectra doesn't. We expect you to pay off your bridge loan the moment SBA funds. That's the point. Clean structure on the way in. Clean exit on the way out.
Bridge the SBA Funding Timeline
We've modernized the lending experience to support your momentum. Apply in minutes, upload documents securely, and move through approval and closing with ease—so your business can grow without interruption.

We wire funds directly to your business account. Monthly payments begin 30 days later. When your SBA loan closes, you repay the Spectra balance in full. The bridge has done its job.
