Does anyone have any experience applying for an SBA start-up business loan?

I am wanting to apply for a small business loan. I have a solid business plan, a great location, good credit, but I have NO collateral.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? How did it turn out?

    Check to see if your city has a SCORE (Service Corps Of Retired Executives) chapter and see if they can advise you . These are retired business owners and they can advise you on what to do and not to do when asking for federal funding.

    Go to bank manager and explain your situation. He’ll love your solid business plan and good credit.
