More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for a new business. This loan was used to buy a Romio's franchise. At the time of the loan, the company had 14 employees. The SBA loan documents did not indicate that the small business planned to use the funding to increase staffing levels or retain any existing employees.

Next Steps for Getting an SBA Loan

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.

Many small business owners never get a business loan because they never bother to apply for a business loan. If you take the initiative, you may get a loan, just like this company did when it applied for and received this $120,000 loan. Remember, fight for what you want, and it will be yours!
