Bank Of America SBA Loan to Supermarkets And Grocery Stores Company

Bank Of America and the SBA work together to get business loans for growing small businesses. Here's an example of how a New Jersey entrepreneur was able to get a loan to take a small business to the next level.

This growing company received financial assistance through the SBA's lending programs back in 2003. They applied for an SBA loan with Bank Of America, out of Providence, Rhode Island. The loan was granted and they received $21,000 to help grow their South Plainfield, New Jersey business.

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 15 employees. The loan application indicated that the loan would help retain 15 existing jobs.

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 Bank Of America 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!
