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.
Many small business owners never get a business loan because they never bother to apply for a business loan. If you take the initiative, you may get a loan, just like this company did when it applied for and received this $650,000 loan. Remember, feel the fear, and do it anyway.
