Great, But How Can I Get an SBA Loan for My Business?
Don't apply for a loan directly with the SBA. You need to apply for an SBA loan with a local or national bank, not with the SBA. The bank processes the loan and gives you the money, and the SBA simply guarantees a portion of the loan.
Folks who know a lot about raising money for companies know that SBA guaranteed loans are a great funding source for small businesses. Talk to a bank like Compass Bank and they will explain how you can get an SBA loan for your company.
