Casper, WY Entrepreneur Gets SBA Loan to Buy Culligan Soft Water Service Franchise

Need a loan to invest in a Culligan Soft Water Service franchise? Wells Fargo Bank has a history of making these loans and they are guaranteed by the SBA.

Getting money to buy a Culligan Soft Water Service franchise shouldn't be overly burdensome. In 2006, Wells Fargo Bank issued an SBA franchise loan to an entrepreneur in Casper, Wyoming. Because Culligan Soft Water Service was registered with the SBA's registry of franchises, this Wyoming small business loan was issued on an expedited basis.

More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for an existing business. This loan was used to buy a Culligan Soft Water Service franchise. At the time of the loan, the company had 5 employees. The SBA loan documents did not indicate that the company promised to use the money to hire new employees or retain any existing employees.

Getting an SBA Loan For Your Business

The Small Business Administration (SBA) is a federal government agency that has many different programs to help small business owners. The SBA Microloan Program, for example, provides very small loans to start-up, newly established, or growing small business concerns. The SBA also has special programs for women and minorities. However, the most popular SBA program is their loan guarantee program for small businesses.

Many small business owners never get a business loan because they never bother to apply for a business loan. If you take the initiative, you may get a loan, just like this company did when it applied for and received this $172,000 loan. Remember, anyone can do it... so why not you?
