More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for a new business. This loan was used to buy a Culver's Frozen Custard franchise. At the time of the loan, the company had 50 employees. This SBA loan request did not indicate that the business promised to use the money to hire new employees or retain any existing employees.

Getting an SBA Loan For Your Business

For small businesses in need of money, an SBA guaranteed loan is often the best way to obtain financing.

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 Wisconsin Community 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!
