Compass Bank is a source for SBA loans that have lower down payments and longer repayment terms than many other financing options. To help you understand SBA loans, we've featured one Texas entrepreneur who tapped into the power of SBA loans.

This growing company received financial assistance through the SBA's lending programs back in 2004. They applied for an SBA loan with Compass Bank, out of Fort Worth, Texas. The loan was granted and they received $60,000 to help grow their Denton, Texas business.

More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for a new business. This loan was not for a franchise. At the time of the loan, the company had only one employee. This SBA loan request did not indicate that the company planned to use the funding to increase staffing levels or retain any existing employees.

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

SBA loan applications are made through a bank. The SBA guarantees a loan to the bank, so in case the borrower defaults, the bank is guaranteed a portion of the loan by the SBA.

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 Compass 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!
