Business loans in Texas are tough to come by these days. We take a look at one Texas business loan, provided by a Texas bank, that was approved by the SBA.

This small business, based in Webster, Texas, offers a good example of how small businesses get financed. Taking advantage of the SBA's guaranteed loan program, they were able to get a loan from Comerica Bank. We've got the inside scoop on this Texas small business loan.

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

SBA 7(a) Loans can be used for nearly any business purpose, such as commercial real estate, construction or renovation for owner-users, business acquisition and start-up, franchise refinancing, refinancing for existing debt, equipment purchases, working capital, and inventory.

SBA loan guarantees are not loans per se. The SBA simply guarantees the loan, but banks and other lending institutions grant you the loan and give you the money. So, just as this company walked into Comerica Bank and applied for an SBA loan, you have to do the same thing. You need to demonstrate business strength and potential, but the sooner you start, the faster you'll get the money if you qualify!
