Getting an SBA loan is pretty difficult for average white guys. A friend of mine several years ago started a landscaping business. He started doing pretty well and wanted to get a loan of about 7K to get some new equipment that would let him offer more services. He went to the SBA and they flat out told him that if he were a minority or a woman they could give him a lot of options, but since he wasn't either of those things they would need a bunch of collateral and if he has that kind of collateral he could get a better interest rate at a bank.
