Business Loan from First Finan Bank Given to Gift, Novelty, And Souvenir Stores Company

First Finan Bank and the SBA work together to get business loans for growing small businesses. Here's an example of how an Ohio entrepreneur was able to get a loan to take a small business to the next level.

This business received financial assistance through the SBA's lending programs back in 2004. They applied for an SBA loan with First Finan Bank, out of Hamilton, Ohio. The loan was granted and they received $125,000 to help grow their Hamilton, Ohio business.

The low-doc program is quick, requiring completion of only a one-page form for a loan of $50,000 or less. The limits have changed over time. Right now, the maximum small business loan for this SBA program is $100,000.
