SBA Fax Number — Fax Small Business Loan and Disaster Documents

The Small Business Administration accepts faxed loan documents, disaster assistance applications, and certification filings, with the headquarters fax line at 202-481-6190. District offices and disaster centers operate their own separate fax numbers, so an 8(a) Business Development application, a HUBZone certification packet, and a disaster loan submission may each go to a different line. Match your document to the office that handles it rather than sending everything to one number.

What You Can Fax to SBA

  • SBA loan application documents
  • Disaster assistance applications
  • 8(a) Business Development Program applications
  • HUBZone certification documents
  • Size standard protests
Tip: Write your SBA loan number or application number on every page so the document stays attached to your file. Disaster loan applications carry filing deadlines, so send time-sensitive paperwork promptly rather than waiting for mail. For most 7(a) and 504 loans, the application itself runs through an SBA-approved lender, so ask the lender for their fax number before sending to the SBA directly.

Faxing to SBA — FAQ

The SBA headquarters fax is 202-481-6190. District offices and disaster assistance centers each publish their own separate numbers, so a disaster loan packet won't go to the same line as a headquarters filing. Contact the office handling your request for its specific fax.

Some SBA documents can be faxed, but most 7(a) and 504 loan applications are submitted through SBA-approved lenders rather than directly to the agency. Reach your lender for their fax number, and use the SBA line only for filings the agency accepts directly.

Call the SBA Disaster Assistance Customer Service Center at 1-800-659-2955 to confirm the correct fax number for your case. Put your disaster loan number on every page, and send promptly since disaster filings run against deadlines.

SBA offices generally work Monday through Friday during local business hours, so a fax sent overnight is handled the next business day. Processing time then depends on the program, with disaster reviews and certification packets like HUBZone or 8(a) moving on their own schedules.

Yes. Because disaster applications and program filings carry deadlines, a delivery confirmation gives you a dated record of when the document arrived. Send FAX Mail provides that confirmation, which helps if the SBA later asks whether a filing was received on time.
