Guaranteed Business Loan

Guaranteed business loans can be administered by members of a person's community, or other organizations not directly affiliated with the Small Business Association (SBA). This type of funding is similar to programs offered by the SBA but may be given to people who otherwise couldn't get a loan from the SBA. The programs are popular throughout the United States because lenders are interested in growing their particular community and for personal reasons, therefore they provide funds with much more lenient terms.

People who administer guaranteed business loans are often highly ranked in the community and financial world. In order to find out who these people are, the owner can contact the local chapter of the SBA or simply start asking at financial institutions in the area. A guaranteed business loan does not only have to come from a person's home town. The possibilities for receiving funds are endless. The Internet is an especially good place to research the types of lenders, the terms they charge, and the possibility of getting one of these loans.

As with applying for any financial program, the applicant needs to make sure his personal and business finances are in order. No one can get a guaranteed business loan if he cannot show that he will be able to make enough money to pay the company's bills. One important step in pursuing this option is for the owner to have clear goals for the company. A lack of planning will show up quickly in an application. Another important step is to make up charts and growth sheets that can be presented to the lender.

Traditional loans usually have a longer pay-off rate than guaranteed business loans. They can last up to seven years, and therefore have a lower interest rate. Of course, the goal for a guaranteed business loan would be to pay it off as quickly as possible without causing other financial troubles. Guaranteed business loans should be looked at as a way to enrich the community by developing the business, therefore, as Christians, we must think of ourselves as an important part of the development of our community. God says to "try Him in every moment" (Job 7:18). This includes trusting Him in our financial affairs. He will guide us through all our financial decisions as we turn our focus on Him. We must ask Him to show us how to run our companies and how to serve Him in the workplace.
