Loan to Buy Great Clips Franchise Issued By Wells Fargo Bank

Need a loan to buy a Great Clips franchise? Wells Fargo Bank has a history of making these loans and they are guaranteed by the SBA.

Getting money to buy a Great Clips franchise shouldn't be overly burdensome. In 2000, Wells Fargo Bank issued an SBA franchise loan to an entrepreneur in Berthoud, Colorado. Because Great Clips was registered with the SBA's registry of franchises, this Colorado small business loan was issued on an expedited basis.

More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for a new business. This loan was used to buy a Great Clips franchise. At the time of the loan, the company had 12 employees. The SBA loan documents did not indicate that the SBA funding recipient planned to use the funding to add employees or retain any existing employees.

Getting an SBA Loan For Your Business

SBA 7(a) Loans can be used for nearly any business purpose, such as commercial real estate, construction or renovation for owner-users, business acquisition and start-up, franchise refinancing, refinancing for existing debt, equipment purchases, working capital, and inventory.

Many small business owners never get a business loan because they never bother to apply for a business loan. If you take the initiative, you may get a loan, just like this company did when it applied for and received this $90,000 loan. Remember, if it to be, it is up to me!
