They provide working capital, finance expansions, acquire equipment, or purchase real estate. By securing affordable financing, businesses can expand operations, hire more employees, develop new products or services, and ultimately contribute to their communities’ economic vitality, fostering sustainable growth and resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an SBA loan?
A Small Business Administration (SBA) loan is a type of loan program in the United States that is backed and partially guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration, a federal agency. SBA loans are designed to help small businesses access financing when they may not qualify for traditional bank loans or may need more favorable terms. The SBA does not directly lend money to businesses but partners with approved lenders, such as banks and credit unions, to provide financing to eligible small businesses.
Is Midwest Bank an SBA approved lender?
Yes, Midwest Bank is an SBA approved lender and able to provide financing to eligible small businesses.
What’s the difference between an SBA loan and another type of business loan that’s provided by Midwest Bank?
SBA loans are known for their relatively low interest rates, longer repayment terms, and more flexible qualification requirements compared to conventional loans. However, they typically involve a more extensive application and approval process. Borrowers must meet specific eligibility criteria, such as having a small business that operates for profit, demonstrating the ability to repay the loan, and not being able to access credit elsewhere on reasonable terms.
