    Has anyone used the "Patriot" loan offered by the SBA for Veterans? According to info I got, you develop a business plan to a bank and the Government guarantees the loan like a VA home loan. The rate is 1 percent above prime.

    It's been plenty of people who ask this question. Not one has comeback and shared their experience. Personally I would not take out a Small business loan.

    Got approved on a 12 T700 and 2 years of warranty (so, they say). I'm overall happy with that. Just waiting to find an insurance agent to take me on and give me a chance and we are all set.
