Business Loan from California Bank & Trust Given to General Automotive Repair Company

California Bank & Trust and the SBA work together to get business loans for growing small businesses. Here's an example of how a California entrepreneur was able to get a loan to take a small business to the next level.

This growing company received financial assistance through the SBA's lending programs back in 2004. They applied for an SBA loan with California Bank & Trust, out of Sacramento, California. The loan was granted and they received $40,000 to help grow their Los Angeles, California business.

Next Steps for Getting an SBA Loan

Don't forget. To get an SBA loan, you must 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.

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 $40,000 loan. Remember, things become real when you believe you can achieve them!
