This loan to an entrepreneur is a good example of an SBA loan. Lehman Brothers Bank, Fsb made the loan and the SBA guaranteed a portion of the loan. Many other Iowa entrepreneurs have gotten similar loans. If you need money for a business, this may be the best route to take.

More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for a new business. This loan was not for a franchise. At the time of the loan, the company had 7 employees. The SBA loan application for the borrower did not indicate that the small business planned to use the loan proceeds to add employees or retain any existing employees.

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

SBA loans can help growing businesses purchase or renovate real estate, acquire fixed assets such as heavy machinery or specialized equipment, borrow working capital for ongoing financing needs, or fund the acquisition of new businesses.

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 Lehman Brothers Bank, Fsb 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!
