Frequently Asked Questions

The U.S. Small Business Administration’s mission is to help entrepreneurs start, build, and grow businesses. The SBA does not directly provide the loan. Rather, a lender provides the actual loan to the borrower and the SBA guarantees a portion of the loan. The SBA program allows lenders to make loans that may not otherwise meet conventional loan underwriting. Visit www.sba.gov to learn more.

As an SBA Preferred Lender, the SBA allows The Bank of Missouri to make lending decisions on their behalf. This can make the process faster for the borrower.

Most for-profit small businesses are eligible for an SBA guaranteed loan. This includes manufacturers, wholesalers, retail and service businesses as well as independent or franchise businesses. The business and owners must be in good standing with the federal government (including loans and tax payments) and must have a satisfactory credit profile.

Loan sizes vary based on SBA policies in place at the time the loan is made. Currently loans can go as high as $5 million for any one borrower and its affiliated companies. The maximum loan amount will be determined based on the use of the funds, personal credit score, cash flow and more.

Outside of traditional loan fees and closing costs, an SBA guarantee fee may also apply. This fee, based upon the loan amount, is determined by SBA and may be financed into the loan.

The time it takes to get an SBA loan depends on several variables, including how quickly you are able to submit the necessary paperwork and information. The process is much quicker and more streamlined at The Bank of Missouri because of our SBA Preferred Lender status, which gives us the authority to complete the entire loan process from start to finish.
