We’re Taking Care Of Business
It’s estimated that only 33% of small businesses will hit the 10-year mark. Why do so many small businesses fail? According to a recent survey, running out of working capital and not being able to secure more funding ranks as the top reason.
In today’s economic climate, business owners need a banking and lending partner that they can rely on. Our dedicated team of lenders helps businesses across the United States secure the funding they need faster. As a Preferred Lender, we can manage the loan process from start to finish without having to submit an application through the SBA first. This can save weeks in processing time.

SBA Lending In Uncertain Economic Times
With rising interest rates, many business owners assume they will have a harder time getting the funding they need. While this may be true for conventional loans, the SBA lending volume often increases in difficult economic conditions.
SBA loan programs are focused on capital preservation, requiring lower down payments and providing longer loan terms than traditional conventional products. In tough economic conditions, these lending options can be the lifeline small businesses need to keep going.
