Are you Qualified to Apply for an SBA Business Loan?

Subsequently, the SBA would be the agency to work with you in choosing the right loan provider who would be ready to give you the loan you need.

SBA/Red Cross Agreement Pushes Disaster Preparedness
The U.S. Small Business Administration and the American Red Cross have joined forces to intensify outreach efforts to educate the public about the importance of having a disaster recovery plan in place.
"Given the recent devastation caused by tornadoes and flooding in communities from New England and the Midwest to the Southern states, and the start of the Atlantic Hurricane season, we recognize the importance of helping people learn how to protect themselves," said SBA Administrator Karen Mills. "This collaboration with the Red Cross will allow us to draw on each other's resources to make emergency preparedness a way of life for individuals and businesses."
"Studies show that between 15 percent to 40 percent of businesses fail following a natural or man-made disaster," said Gail McGovern, president and CEO of the American Red Cross. "By partnering with the SBA to get more families and businesses prepared for emergencies, we hope to save both lives and livelihoods."
