Borrow Money to Buy a Best Western Inn Franchise

Getting money to buy a Best Western Inn franchise shouldn't be too tough. In 2001, Bank Of America issued an SBA franchise loan to an entrepreneur in Northampton, Massachusetts. Because Best Western Inn was registered with the SBA's registry of franchises, this Massachusetts small business loan was issued on an expedited basis.

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

Don't apply for a loan directly with the SBA. You need to 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.

This firm was able to get an SBA loan -- a strong sign of business strength. Do you think you have what it takes to get an SBA loan too? The SBA can be a great solution for raising money quickly to start or grow a business. Your next step is to speak with a banker at an SBA approved bank.
