More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for an existing business. According to the loan information, this was not a franchise loan. At the time of the loan, the company had only one employee. The SBA loan documents did not indicate that the business promised to use the funding to hire new employees or retain any existing employees.

Getting an SBA Loan For Your Business

If you need money to start a small business or need money for an existing business, an SBA loan can be a great funding source

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 Jpmorgan Chase 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!
