More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for an existing business. The SBA's records indicate that the loan was not for investment in a franchise. At the time of the loan, the company had 2 employees. This SBA loan request did not indicate that the small business planned to use the loan proceeds to increase staffing levels or retain any existing employees.

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

SBA loan applications are made through a bank. The SBA guarantees a loan to the bank, so in case the borrower defaults, the bank is guaranteed a portion of the loan by the SBA.

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 Innovative 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!
