Guided intake
Answer plain-language questions about the business, ownership, funding purpose, and file context.
SBA Express intake review
Start your SBA Express intake with a clearer file path
Business owners should not have to guess what to answer, which documents to upload, or what happens after they start. Whigham Group’s SBA Express intake helps organize the details, documents, and next-step questions needed for review.
Starting an intake does not guarantee approval, funding, rates, terms, or timing. SBA-related financing is subject to lender and SBA requirements.
Why it helps
Built for business owners who want fewer unknowns
An SBA Express or SBA 7(a)-related file can involve business details, ownership information, financial records, tax documents, use-of-funds explanations, and lender-specific questions. The intake makes that first step more organized.
Secure document upload
Upload requested documents in one place instead of scattering sensitive files across email threads.
Missing-item review
The team checks for missing, unclear, or mismatched items and gives you clearer next steps.
Review-ready focus
The goal is a cleaner, better-organized file for the next review stage, not a promise of approval.
What gets organized
Bring the right information into one process
SBA 7(a) financing can be used for business purposes such as working capital, certain debt refinancing, equipment, supplies, and other eligible business needs. Actual eligibility and loan structure depend on the business, lender review, SBA requirements, credit history, ability to repay, and other factors.
Business profile and ownership details
Company basics, owners, operating history, location, and business activity.
Use-of-funds context
A plain explanation of what the business is seeking financing for and why funding may be needed.
Financial and business documents
Requested items may include bank statements, tax returns, formation documents, financial statements, debt schedules, ownership information, or other file-specific materials.

Clear expectations
Important approval-safe notes
SBA 7(a) loans are made through participating lenders, not directly by SBA to the borrower. Eligibility can depend on business activity, size standards, credit history, location, ability to repay, lender review, SBA requirements, and the documents provided.
Whigham Group’s intake service helps organize and review file materials. It does not guarantee approval, funding, terms, rates, or timing. It is not an SBA endorsement, and any financing decision remains subject to lender and SBA review.
FAQ
SBA Express intake questions
What is an SBA Express intake?
An SBA Express intake is a structured way to collect business information, supporting documents, and file details before review. Whigham Group’s intake is designed to help organize the file and identify missing or unclear items.
Does starting the intake guarantee SBA approval or funding?
No. Starting the intake does not guarantee approval, funding, rates, terms, or timing. Any SBA-related financing remains subject to lender review, SBA requirements, creditworthiness, ability to repay, and other factors.
What happens after I start the intake?
You complete guided questions, upload requested documents, and receive next-step notes if items are missing or unclear. The goal is to create a cleaner file for the next review stage.
What documents may be requested?
Requested documents can vary by file. They may include bank statements, tax returns, business formation documents, financial statements, debt schedules, ownership information, or other materials needed to understand the business and requested use of funds.
Do I apply directly with the SBA?
For SBA 7(a) loans, SBA states that borrowers apply directly through a lender. SBA does not provide 7(a) loans directly to borrowers. Whigham Group’s intake helps organize information for review and next steps.
Is the intake fee the same as loan approval or closing costs?
No. The intake fee starts the guided intake and file review path. It is not a loan approval, a guarantee of funding, or a substitute for any lender, SBA, or closing requirements that may apply later.
