Great, But How Can I Get an SBA Loan for My Business?

Although it's called an SBA loan, you apply for an SBA loan with a local or national bank, not with the SBA. The bank processes the loan and gives you the money, and the SBA simply guarantees a portion of the loan.

Wondering how to raise money quickly? With the SBA's Preferred Lenders Program, LowDoc Program, SBAExpress and CommunityExpress loan programs, an SBA loan can be approved and funded in two days. This company did everything right to get a $150,000 loan. It's not easy, but why not give getting an SBA loan of your own a try?
