ARC Stabilization Loans - 35,000 More Reasons the US Government Rocks
Written by Dave Lavinsky on Monday, July 6, 2009
Categories: The next time you get frustrated that the taxes you pay to the U.S. government are so high, realize that the government gives a lot of this money back to entrepreneurs. And one of these entrepreneurs can be you! In fact, last year, the U.S. government provided funding to 69,434 companies through its Small Business Administration (SBA) lending program. And last month, the SBA stepped up its efforts even further to help entrepreneurs and small business owners. Specifically, last month, the SBA created a new type of loan called the "America's Recovery Capital" loan, or "ARC." This loan is specifically designed to help existing businesses who are currently experiencing distress due to the economy. What's great about ARC loans is that they are deferred loans. The funds are dispersed to you over a period of up to 6 months, but you are not required to make any payments until 12 months have elapsed since you were funded. Payback terms are up to five years. The maximum loan principal is $35,000. And there are no fees to the borrower. And the government guarantees 100% of the loan to the SBA partner bank. Finally, the interest rates are extremely reasonably; only prime plus 2%. To learn more about and how to get an ARC, SBA or other bank loan to fund your existing or startup business, instantly download our new report entitled "Growthink's Step-by-Step Guide to Raising Capital from Banks & SBA Lenders" here: http://www.growthink.com/products/loanguide Share this article:
