More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for a new business. The SBA's records indicate that the loan was not for investment in a franchise. At the time of the loan, the company had 3 employees. The loan application did not indicate that the small business promised to use the money to add employees or retain any existing employees.

Great, But How Can I Get an SBA Loan for My 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 West Coast 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!
