More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for a new business. This loan was used to buy a Carstar Automotive franchise. At the time of the loan, the company had 35 employees. The SBA loan application for the borrower did not indicate that the company promised to use the funding to hire new employees 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.

Unless you are not in a hurry to get an SBA loan, it's best to work with a bank like Centris Fcu that has already issued SBA-guaranteed loans. To get an SBA loan fast, work with a bank that participates in the SBA's Preferred Lenders Program (PLP).
