At Fidelity Bank, we are committed to empowering small business owners nationwide. As an SBA Preferred Lender, our experienced team offers personalized financing solutions designed to support business growth, innovation, and success. We’re thrilled to share the meaningful impacts our SBA lending experts have had on the small business community during the first quarter of 2025.

In Q1, our team was able to secure over $11 million in SBA financing across 10 loans! Fidelity Bank has always been proud to work with business owners across a wide variety of industries and Q1 2025 was no different! Businesses like hair salons, auto mechanical repair, remediation services, amusement and recreation, restaurants, and even doggy daycare centers all received funding this quarter.

While many loans were closed in North Carolina, we also lend across the entire country. In the last three months, we’ve helped secure funding for businesses in Florida and Arizona. The most popular purpose for funding in Q1 was business acquisition – one of the many uses of the SBA 7(a) loan program. Through the 7(a) loan program, some business owners we worked with were also able to secure funding for start-up expenses, asset purchases, and working capital as well. Additionally, a business owner in the beauty industry was able to secure financing for real estate and equipment purchases with the SBA 504 loan program.

At Fidelity Bank, we are right by you through any economic climate. In 2024, the Federal Reserve made three rate cuts, which were a welcome change for small business owners looking to obtain financing for their businesses. Lower rates can have significant impacts on small business owners, such as making the loan more affordable. While we don’t have a definitive road map for what 2025 will bring, Fidelity Bank is prepared to work with you to provide flexible financing solutions to meet your business goals.
