Borrow Money to Buy a Comfort Suites Franchise

Need a loan to invest in a Comfort Suites franchise? Hanmi Bank has a history of making these loans and they are guaranteed by the SBA.

Getting money to buy a Comfort Suites franchise is doable. In 2003, Hanmi Bank issued an SBA franchise loan to an entrepreneur in Palm Desert, California. Because Comfort Suites was registered with the SBA's registry of franchises, this California small business loan was issued on an expedited basis.

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

Although it's called an SBA loan, you 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 $1,300,000 loan. Remember, fight for what you want, and it will be yours!
