Houston, Texas Business Gets SBA-Guaranteed Funding from Bank Of America

Bank Of America is a source for SBA loans that have lower down payments and longer repayment terms than many other financing options. To help you understand SBA loans, we've featured one Texas entrepreneur who tapped into the power of SBA loans.

This small firm received financial assistance through the SBA's lending programs back in 2002. They applied for an SBA loan with Bank Of America, out of Charlotte, North Carolina. The loan was granted and they received $50,000 to help grow their Houston, Texas business.

More Information on This SBA Loan

Next Steps for Getting an SBA Loan

SBA 7(a) Loans can be used for nearly any business purpose, such as commercial real estate, construction or renovation for owner-users, business acquisition and start-up, franchise refinancing, refinancing for existing debt, equipment purchases, working capital, and inventory.

SBA loan guarantees are not loans per se. The SBA simply guarantees the loan, but banks and other lending institutions grant you the loan and give you the money. So, just as this company walked into Bank Of America and applied for an SBA loan, you have to do the same thing. You need to demonstrate business strength and potential, but the sooner you start, the faster you'll get the money if you qualify!
