Don't forget. To get an SBA loan, you must 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.

Unless you are not in a hurry to get an SBA loan, it's best to work with a bank like Stearns Bank that has already issued SBA-guaranteed loans. To get an SBA loan fast, work with a bank that participates in the SBA's Preferred Lenders Program (PLP).
