California Small Business Loan Guarantee Program Guide
The Short Answer: The California Small Business Loan Guarantee Program (SBLGP) guarantees up to 80% of loans from $20K to $1.25M. This dramatically reduces lender risk, making it easier for startups and small businesses to get bank financing they'd otherwise be denied.
