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

If you need emergency money for small businesses, the SBA has special programs for you. We've put a spotlight on this loan from United Bank Of Michigan so you can get a feel for how SBA loans work. Applying for an SBA loan starts with a visit to a banker that works with the SBA.
