More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for a new business. According to the loan information, this was not a franchise loan. At the time of the loan, the company had 2 employees. The SBA loan application for the borrower did not indicate that the company promised to use the loan proceeds to increase staffing levels or retain any existing employees.

Next Steps for Getting an SBA Loan

If you need money to start a business or need money for an existing business, an SBA loan can be a great source of funding.

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 National Penn 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!
