Sovereign Bank Provides SBA Loan to Buy Dunkin Donuts Franchise

Borrowing money to purchase a Dunkin Donuts franchise? Sovereign Bank has a history of making these loans and they are guaranteed by the SBA.

Getting money to buy a Dunkin Donuts franchise requires some effort but others before you have been successful. In 2002, Sovereign Bank issued an SBA franchise loan to an entrepreneur in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. Because Dunkin Donuts was registered with the SBA's registry of franchises, this Pennsylvania small business loan was issued on an expedited basis.

Getting an SBA Loan For Your 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.

Unless you are not in a hurry to get an SBA loan, it's best to work with a bank like Sovereign Bank that has already issued SBA-guaranteed loans. To get an SBA loan fast, work with a bank that participates in the SBA's Preferred Lenders Program (PLP).
