More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for an existing business. The SBA's records indicate that the loan was not for investment in a franchise. At the time of the loan, the company had 2 employees. The SBA loan application for the borrower indicated that the loan would help generate 1 new job and retain 1 existing job.

Next Steps for Getting an SBA Loan

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.

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 $21,600 loan. Remember, if it to be, it is up to me!
