More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for a new business. The SBA's records indicate that the loan was not for investment in a franchise. At the time of the loan, the company had 2 employees. The SBA loan application for the borrower did not indicate that the company planned to use the money to add employees or retain any existing employees.

Next Steps for Getting an SBA Loan

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!
