The SBA is important source of financing for entrepreneurs like you. Take this loan, for example. The company needed a loan. First Financial Bank had a strong track record in business lending, and with the SBA stepping up and agreeing to guarantee part of the loan, First Financial Bank made the loan. The end result was that this firm was given the opportunity to grow their business and enhance the lives of their employees and customers.

The process for getting an SBA loan is relatively straight-forward. Sit down with your banker and they will explain the process in detail.
