Great, But How Can I Get an SBA Loan for My Business?

Don't apply for a loan directly with the SBA. You need to 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.

If you need to find money for a business, the SBA has special programs for you. We've put a spotlight on this loan from Greater Bay Bank so you can get a feel for how SBA loans work. Applying for an SBA loan starts with a visit to a banker that works with the SBA.
