More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for an existing business. The SBA's records indicate that the loan was not for investment in a franchise. At the time of the loan, the company had only one employee. The SBA loan application for the borrower did not indicate that the company promised to use the loan proceeds to hire new employees or retain any existing employees.

Next Steps for Getting an SBA Loan

The Small Business Administration (SBA) provides government-guaranteed loans designed to help small businesses that may not otherwise qualify for credit get the funds they need.

Many small business owners never get a business loan because they never bother to apply for a business loan. If you take the initiative, you may get a loan, just like this company did when it applied for and received this $300,000 loan. Remember, anyone can do it... so why not you?
