Are you eligible for SBA Loan “special treatment”?
If you want a loan for your startup freelance writing business, you may be eligible for one of the SBA’s special loan programs:
1. Patriot Express loans for veterans
2. Rural Lender Advantage helps banks and other lenders in rural communities to encourage them to use SBA guarantees. This program is currently limited to lenders in Colorado; North Dakota; South Dakota; Montana; Utah; and, Wyoming.
If you go to your bank and you think one of these two "special treatment" qualifications applies to you, make sure the bank notes this on your SBA loan application.
You never know what you can get until you ask.
