More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for an existing business. According to the loan information, this was not a franchise loan. At the time of the loan, the company had 4 employees. The SBA loan application for the borrower did not indicate that the small business promised to use the loan proceeds to add employees or retain any existing employees.

Next Steps for Getting an SBA Loan

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.

There are SBA loan fees that may apply. SBA lenders must pay the SBA a guaranty fee of 1% to 3.5% of guaranteed amount. The SBA will also make the lender pay annual fees amounting to 0.25% of the loan's outstanding balance. The lender is allowed by law to pass these fees to the borrower.

Still, as most small businesses know, these fees are minimal compared to the potential of what capital can do for a business. So, what are you waiting for? Get in touch with an SBA lending bank today!
