More Information on This SBA Loan

The borrower borrowed this money for a new business. This loan was used to buy a Mr. Electric franchise. At the time of the loan, the company had 3 employees. The loan application did not indicate that the business promised to use the loan proceeds to hire new employees or retain any existing employees.

Next Steps for Getting an SBA Loan

SBA 7(a) Loans can be used for nearly any business purpose, such as commercial real estate, construction or renovation for owner-users, business acquisition and start-up, franchise refinancing, refinancing for existing debt, equipment purchases, working capital, and inventory.

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 Choice Financial Group 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!
