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

Remember, 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.

While you may be able to find business people willing to loan money, the SBA is a tried and true source for small business loan guarantees. This loan shows that any business with ambition and the right qualifications can get an SBA loan.
