Small Business Loans In Los Angeles
S
Los Angeles is the center of the American film and television industry, and home to some of the world’s most famous movie studios. With more than 75 miles of coastline, Los Angeles has many popular beaches, including Santa Monica, Venice Beach, and Malibu.
Los Angeles is also home to several professional sports teams, including the Lakers, Clippers, Dodgers, and Angels and is a melting pot of cultures, with many restaurants, museums, theaters, and other cultural attractions, including the Getty Center, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
These small businesses serve delicious cuisine, offer great shopping, nautical adventures, and beautiful places to lounge after a long day at the beach; many of whom got their start with a loan from the Small Business Administration (SBA).
That means today you can enjoy authentic cuisine from all over the world, sip your favorite beverage, buy the latest in beach wear and tour around our beautiful bay on a private boat, all because of the SBA.
SBA Small Business Guaranteed Loans
The SBA was founded over fifty years ago to help World War II veterans start businesses of their own in hopes of transitioning them to civilian life and provide for their families.
SBA financing is unique because it gives entrepreneurs hope in the face of despair. Let’s face it, the days of borrowing money on a handshake are over, and since the Great Recession in 2008, it has become increasingly difficult to qualify for conventional financing.
This begs the question. Where do the innovators in our society go when they have a revolutionary idea?
Yes they can seek equity funds and angel investors but shouldn’t they have the opportunity to try on their own? Isn’t that the American way? The SBA thinks it is and that’s why entrepreneurs across the country turn to the SBA to bring their ideas to life.
In fact, the SBA has fueled the rise of many small businesses from unknown start-up to becoming a household name, such as Under Armour, Chipotle, Nike and everyone’s favorite ice cream, Ben and Jerry’s.
I’ve personally witnessed dozens of business owners leverage an SBA loan to grow or start their business.
SBA Helping Businesses
The SBA helps small businesses in the following ways:
- The development of a business plan which immediately increases the likelihood of long term success.
- SBA loans only require a minimum 10% equity injection allowing entrepreneurs to keep more capital in reserves for strategic growth and unexpected expenses.
- Reasonable rates and up to 10 year amortization period for easy monthly payments.
- Flexible pre-payment penalties giving business owners the power to payoff their loan on their terms.
- Peace of mind knowing there are resources to help them navigate the rough waters of entrepreneurship.
