More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for an existing business. This loan was used to buy a Comet One-Hour Dry Cleaners franchise. At the time of the loan, the company had 7 employees. The SBA loan application for the borrower did not indicate that the small business planned to use the money to hire new employees or retain any existing employees.

Next Steps for Getting an SBA Loan

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 Unity 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!
