So we applied with 6 different banks, all small around the country. that didn't work.
Found and applied to a very small bank in rural MN (where we are) and got a person on the phone finally. Submitted to SBA after 7 days, and then got a SBA loan number and approval on 4/14 (just before it ran out).
Now they said I won't be able to close on the loan and get the money until 4/24.
I don't even know what the takeaway is at this point.
