You need money to start a business. But as a small business owner, you only have so much funding to get started. This is where small business loans come in, and our latest episode, we go over what you need to know about getting a loan from the Small Business Administration with Mike Arriola.
Arriola originally started as the SBA officer for the Asheville area and eventually became the District Director for the entire state of North Carolina. Today, he oversees the SBA operations for over 900,000 small businesses throughout the state.
In this episode, we go over what exactly an SBA loan is, specifically the 7(a) guaranty process, why lenders decide to offer these loans, and why you should consider getting one of these loans if you’re trying to get your small business off the ground. We also go over some of the other tools and resources the SBA has for small business owners on top of their loan programs.
The SBA has resources that can help small business owners at any phase of their business’ lifecycle. Give this episode a listen if you’re thinking of or currently involved in starting a small business, and make sure to check back soon to see when our next episode goes live.
