The SBA is important source of financing for entrepreneurs like you. Take this loan, for example. The company needed a loan. U.S. Bank National Association had a strong track record in business lending, and with the SBA stepping up and agreeing to guarantee part of the loan, U.S. Bank National Association made the loan.
