The NSU-SBDC is not a SBA lender. Once information is assembled, you will need to make an appointment with your banker. Visit your bank first for SBA direct and guaranty loans. You will take your completed loan application to the bank and your bank will submit a request for SBA guarantee. If approved, the loan will be closed and funded by the bank.
