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

Although it's called an SBA loan, 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.

The SBA is important source of financing for entrepreneurs like you. Take this loan, for example. The company needed a loan. Excel National Bank had a strong track record in business lending, and with the SBA stepping up and agreeing to guarantee part of the loan, Excel National Bank made the loan. The end result was that this firm was given the opportunity to grow their business and enhance the lives of their employees and customers.

The process for getting an SBA loan is relatively straight-forward. Sit down with your banker and they will explain the process in detail.
