Ready to apply for an SBA loan? As you begin the process of applying for an SBA loan, it is important to know the steps involved and how to best prepare for small business loans.

Our Lending Process

  1. Qualification

    Your Business Development Officer will collect certain documentation so we can perform a thorough initial analysis reviewed by an approving officer. If the approving officer is confident a formal approval is likely, we will issue a Pre-Qualification Letter.

  2. Application

    After accepting our Pre-Qualification Letter, the BDO and a Production Coordinator will work with you to gather any outstanding items needed for underwriting. We recommend ordering any required third party reports to help expedite closing.

  3. Underwriting

    A formal analysis is completed by your assigned Underwriter. We will schedule a meeting for you to discuss your loan request with the Underwriter and answer his/her questions. Once the analysis is complete, the Underwriter will submit the Loan Report to an approving officer for approval. Upon approval of your loan, a Commitment Letter outlining the terms and closing conditions will be issued.

  4. Processing/ Closing

    After we receive your executed Commitment Letter, a Processor will be assigned to obtain the government’s approval and coordinate closing with all relevant parties. The Processor will assist you in gathering documentation and completing any conditions required for closing.
