SBA Loan Clinic Jan. 25
SBA LOAN CLINIC
$5,000 to $50,000 SBA Loans
No Collateral Required
The Small Business Administration in conjunction with the Talladega Chamber of Commerce, Jacksonville State University Small Business Development Center, Jacksonville State Center for Economic Development, and the Alabama Small Business Institute for Commerce are hosting a one-day loan clinic at the Citizens Hospital Board Room (Bottom floor) on Wednesday, January 25, 2006. Start-up and existing business owners will be able to apply for SBA loans.

The loans are unsecured (require no collateral). Start-up and existing small businesses can apply for unsecured small business loans up to $50,000. Using the Community Express program, start-up and existing business applicants can apply for unsecured loans up to $50,000.

This program requires the clients to receive business counseling from a technical assistance provider (TAP) before approved loans are disbursed. The counseling is free. The Jacksonville State University Small Business Development Center will have representatives available to schedule counseling and to assist with the application process.

“I’m very excited about these new programs and the participation of our lending partners and resource partners.” says Michael Ricks, Alabama SBA Director. “We now can offer applicants tools that can provide access to capital. These new products and technology provide these services to the citizens of Alabama in a timelier manner.”

The event will be held Wednesday, January 25th from 12:00 noon until 3:00 p.m. Group presentations of the SBA programs will be made at 12:00 noon, 1:00 p.m., and 2:00 p.m.
