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

If you need money to start a small business or already have a business and need money to expand, an SBA loan can be a great way to raise money

SBA loan guarantees are not loans per se. The SBA simply guarantees the loan, but banks and other lending institutions grant you the loan and give you the money. So, just as this company walked into Merrill Merchants Bank and applied for an SBA loan, you have to do the same thing. You need to demonstrate business strength and potential, but the sooner you start, the faster you'll get the money if you qualify!
