Next Steps for Getting an SBA Loan

The Small Business Administration (SBA) is a federal government agency that has many different programs to help small business owners. The SBA Microloan Program, for example, provides very small loans to start-up, newly established, or growing small business concerns. The SBA also has special programs for women and minorities. However, the most popular SBA program is their loan guarantee program for small businesses.

The SBA is an excellent funding resource for business owners who cannot easily find funding through conventional funding sources. Banks like Horizon Bank are ready to help you through the process. Whether you need money to open a store, need money to launch a startup business, or are raising money as working capital for an existing entity, the SBA is there for you.
