Lexington, Texas Business Gets SBA-Guaranteed Funding from American Bank Of Commerce

American Bank Of Commerce is a source for SBA loans that have lower down payments and longer repayment terms than many other financing options. To help you understand SBA loans, we've featured one Texas entrepreneur who tapped into the power of SBA loans.

Laursen's Ultimate Linings received financial assistance through the SBA's lending programs back in 2003. They applied for an SBA loan with American Bank Of Commerce, out of Austin, Texas. The loan was granted and they received $50,000 to help grow their Lexington, Texas business.

Next Steps for Getting an SBA Loan

SBA loan applications are made through a bank. The SBA guarantees a loan to the bank, so in case the borrower defaults, the bank is guaranteed a portion of the loan by the SBA.
