Question about how first time small business loans work?

Go to business.gov and to sba.gov and read. You first need to write a business plan before you do anything. It will be required to get a loan. This is a horrible time to start a small business, so it will be harder than ever before. SCORE offers free business counselors (retired business people). They are local. SBA offers loans also.
