Entrepreneur Works With San Diego, California Bank to Get an SBA Loan

Thinking about meeting with a San Diego, California bank about a small business loan? Here's one Washington business loan, issued by a San Diego bank, that was approved by the SBA.

Applying for an SBA loan with U.S. Bank National Association worked out well for our friends at one local business in Seattle, Washington. They received an SBA loan for $952,000. Awesome!

CLP lenders perform a complete analysis of the application and, in return, SBA promises a fast loan decision.

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 20 employees. This SBA loan request did not indicate that the company planned to use the funding to increase staffing levels or retain any existing employees.

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

Although it's called an SBA loan, you 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.

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 U.S. Bank National Association 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!
