More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for an existing business. This loan was not for a franchise. At the time of the loan, the company had only one employee. The SBA loan documents indicated that the loan would help retain 1 existing job.

Next Steps for Getting an SBA Loan

Remember, 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.

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 California Bank & Trust 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!
