How to Get a Loan for Store Retailers

With these SBA loans for store retailers, the SBA guarantees the lender that the loan will be repaid. This store retailers loan for $200,000 was given to a California entrepreneur in 2006.

Getting a small business loan in San Diego, California was important for this small business back in 2006 and, based on their loan application, they were successful in getting an SBA loan from Neighborhood National Bank, operating out of San Diego, California. Here are the details on this California small business loan.

More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for a new business. The SBA's records indicate that the loan was not for investment in a franchise. 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 1 new job and retain 1 existing job.

Next Steps for Getting an SBA Loan

Don't apply for a loan directly with the SBA. You need to 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.

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 Neighborhood National 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!
