LouisianaBank loans are available to Louisiana firms through the SBA. In this case, a Louisiana bank provides the loan.

This small business, based in New Iberia, Louisiana, offers a good example of how small businesses get financed. Taking advantage of the SBA's guaranteed loan program, they were able to get a loan from Midsouth Bank. We've got the inside scoop on this Louisiana small business loan.

More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for a new business. This loan was not for a franchise. At the time of the loan, the company had only one employee. The loan application did not indicate that the small business planned to use the funding to increase staffing levels or retain any existing employees.

Getting an SBA Loan For Your Business

SBA loan applications are made through a bank. The SBA guarantees a loan to the bank, so in case the borrower defaults, the bank is guaranteed a portion of the loan by the SBA.

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 Midsouth 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!
