SBA Financing
As an SBA Preferred Lender, First American Bank can approve and process your small business loan right away. Our vast experience with SBA guaranteed loans could help you obtain the financing you need, with the terms you can afford.
All businesses considered for financing under the SBA loan program must meet SBA size standards, be for-profit, not already have the internal resources (business or personal) to provide the financing, and be able to demonstrate repayment.
Loan proceeds can be used for most sound business purposes including working capital, machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, land and building (including purchase, renovation and new construction), leasehold improvements, and debt refinancing (under special conditions).
