SBA Loan from Bank Of America Helps Full-Service Restaurants Company

Bank Of America and the SBA work together to get business loans for growing small businesses. Here's an example of how a Massachusetts entrepreneur was able to get a loan to take a small business to the next level.

This growing company received financial assistance through the SBA's lending programs back in 2002. They applied for an SBA loan with Bank Of America, out of Providence, Rhode Island. The loan was granted and they received $150,000 to help grow their Framingham, Massachusetts business.

More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for a new 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 application for the borrower indicated that the loan would help generate 19 new jobs and retain 1 existing job.

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

SBA loans can help growing businesses purchase or renovate real estate, acquire fixed assets such as heavy machinery or specialized equipment, borrow working capital for ongoing financing needs, or fund the acquisition of new businesses.

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 Bank Of America 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!
