Sue Malone of Superior Financial Group says, “All entrepreneurs –men and women, students, retirees, current small business owners-everyone is welcome to attend the workshop and apply for a small business loan on the spot.”
 
“Superior Financial Group is offering SBA guaranteed small business loans for $5,000, $10,000, $15,000 to $25,000—in $2,500 increments– with no financial statements or collateral required,” says Sue Malone, the workshop presenter, a representative of Superior. The loans are payable over a ten year period and there is no prepayment penalty, according to Malone.

“Anyone interested in applying for a small business loan at our workshops should bring a clear  photo copy  of their  ID or drivers’ license, evidence of citizenship or legal resident status, their federal tax ID number, and business check book if they are in business and want to get a loan to expand,” says Ms. Malone.
