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

Don't apply for a loan directly with the SBA. You need to 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.

Your solution for where to find money to start a business may be an SBA guaranteed loan. This company recognized that the SBA offers great programs for new and growing businesses. Now it's your turn. Talk to a banker to start the process.
