Although it's called an SBA loan, you apply for an SBA loan with a local or national bank, not with the SBA. The bank processes the loan and gives you the money, and the SBA simply guarantees a portion of the loan.

If you take the initiative, you may get a loan, just like this company did when it applied for and received this $468,000 loan. Remember, things become real when you believe you can achieve them!
