More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for an existing business. This loan was not for a franchise. At the time of the loan, the company had 4 employees. The SBA loan application for the borrower did not indicate that the SBA funding recipient promised to use the money to increase staffing levels or retain any existing employees.

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.

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!
