The borrower borrowed this money for an existing business. This loan was used to buy a Subway Sandwich Shop franchise. At the time of the loan, the company had 10 employees. This SBA loan request did not indicate that the SBA funding recipient planned to use the money to increase staffing levels or retain any existing employees.

Next Steps for Getting an SBA Loan

SBA loans can help growing businesses purchase or renovate real estate, acquire fixed assets such as heavy machinery or specialized equipment, borrow working capital for ongoing financing needs, or fund the acquisition of new businesses.

SBA loan guarantees are not loans per se. The SBA simply guarantees the loan, but banks and other lending institutions grant you the loan and give you the money. So, just as this company walked into Wells Fargo Bank and applied for an SBA loan, you have to do the same thing. You need to demonstrate business strength and potential, but the sooner you start, the faster you'll get the money if you qualify!
