Sage + SBA Loan Application: Complete Workflow
Preparing for sba loan application and using Sage? SBA lenders require 3-12 months of business bank statements to verify revenue, assess cash flow, and determine loan eligibility. Disorganized PDFs delay the application process. BankScan AI bridges the gap between your bank's PDF statements and Sage's import feature.
BankScan AI → Sage for SBA Loan Application
Convert bank statement PDFs to CSV formatted for Sage import. Convert business bank statements to clean spreadsheets showing monthly revenue, average daily balance, and cash flow patterns — exactly what SBA lenders need to see.
How It Works
Upload your bank statement PDF
Supports all major banks. Upload 3 months for SBA Express loans; 12 months for standard SBA 7(a) and 504 loans; some lenders request 24 months for startups of statements.
AI formats for Sage
Output as CSV with Date, Details/Reference, Paid in, Paid out — Sage requires separate debit and credit columns rather than a single signed amount — dates in DD/MM/YYYY.

Import for SBA Loan Application into Sage
After converting your bank statements for sba loan application:
- In Sage Accounting, go to Banking > select your bank account > Import statement
- Upload the CSV, confirm column mapping (Date, Details, Paid in, Paid out), and import
Common Import Issues
Sage requires separate Paid in/Paid out columns — a single Amount column will fail. Also rejects imports where the date column contains time stamps.
