Raising Money for Gift, Novelty, and Souvenir Stores

With these business loans for gift, novelty, and souvenir stores, the SBA guarantees the lender that the loan will be repaid. This gift, novelty, and souvenir stores loan for $50,000 was given to a Virginia entrepreneur in 2001.

Getting a small business loan in Virginia Beach, Virginia was important for this small business back in 2001 and, based on their loan application, they were successful in getting an SBA loan from Bank Of America, operating out of Charlotte, North Carolina. Here are the details on this Virginia small business loan.
