Borrow Money to Buy a Wireless Franchise

Borrowing money to invest in a Wireless franchise? Comerica Bank has a history of making these loans and they are guaranteed by the SBA.

Getting money to buy a Wireless franchise requires some effort but others before you have been successful. In 2006, Comerica Bank issued an SBA franchise loan to an entrepreneur in Hollywood, Florida. Because Wireless was registered with the SBA's registry of franchises, this Florida small business loan was issued on an expedited basis.

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

SBA loan applications are made through a bank. The SBA guarantees a loan to the bank, so in case the borrower defaults, the bank is guaranteed a portion of the loan by the SBA.

There are SBA loan fees that may apply. SBA lenders must pay the SBA a guaranty fee of 1% to 3.5% of guaranteed amount. The SBA will also make the lender pay annual fees amounting to 0.25% of the loan's outstanding balance. The lender is allowed by law to pass these fees to the borrower.

Still, as most small businesses know, these fees are minimal compared to the potential of what capital can do for a business. So, what are you waiting for? Get in touch with an SBA lending bank today!
