Loan to Buy Plato's Closet Franchise Issued By Vineyard Bank

Borrowing money to invest in a Plato's Closet franchise? Vineyard Bank has a history of making these loans and they are guaranteed by the SBA.

Getting money to buy a Plato's Closet franchise requires some effort but others before you have been successful. In 2005, Vineyard Bank issued an SBA franchise loan to an entrepreneur in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Because Plato's Closet was registered with the SBA's registry of franchises, this California small business loan was issued on an expedited basis.

SBA loans typically are available at competitive interest rates and have no balloon payments or annual reviews.

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 Vineyard 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!
