Small Business Administration (SBA) Loans

SBA loans are partially guaranteed by the government and provide long term loans to small businesses. Loan amounts can be small or large, and used to purchase a business, finance franchising, restructuring, expansion, machinery & equipment, construction, and real estate acquisition, development, and refinancing. SBA loans typically have rates and fees comparable to other, non-guaranteed loans, and can come with lower down payments and sometimes, without collateral.

As an SBA lender, we work with business owners to offer favorable terms and local decision making. Our banking team can assist with SBA 504 and SBA 7(a) loan programs.

What We Look for When Evaluating a Loan:

We work closely with our borrowers to make the applications process as easy and transparent as possible. When we evaluate your application, we look at the following criteria:

1. Experience. What experience do you have in the industry related to your business. What management experience do you have?

2. Creditworthiness. Do you and your business have a history of paying debts and suppliers on time? You can get a free copy of your credit report at www.annualcreditreport.com.

3. Capital. How much money have you invested so far in your business? How much money can you invest in this project?

4. Cash flow. Can your business cover expenses plus the loan payment?

5. Collateral. What assets can be used to secure the loan? Possible collateral includes real estate, cash, and in some cases equipment. Note: Some of our smaller loans do not require collateral.

6. Personal debt-to-income ratio. Is your business able to pay you a sufficient salary to cover your debts? For start-ups, we will require the borrower or co-signer to have a secondary source of income.
