Just like a racecar needs a driver, a pit crew, and fuel to win a race, your small business needs an owner (you), a support team (the John Marshall Bank SBA Team), and fuel (an SBA 7(a) loan) to reach the finish line of your business goals. In partnership with the US Small Business Administration, we offer specially designed loans called SBA 7(a) loans to small businesses throughout the DC Metro Area. Whether you’re just starting out, looking to expand, or aiming to grow, an SBA 7(a) loan is the right financial tool to shift your business into high gear.
Rely on a Preferred Lender for Your Business
John Marshall Bank has earned Preferred Lender status, a designation only given to lenders with a history of success, by the SBA, enabling the Bank to make loan decisions in-house without the SBA’s direct approval. This means small business owners can gain faster access to funds with a streamlined application process through our LendUX platform for loans of $500,000 and under.
Financial institutions with Preferred Lender status are proven to be both efficient and successful when it comes to administrating, processing, and completing SBA 7(a) loans. What does that mean for business owners? When you apply for an SBA 7(a) loan with John Marshall Bank, you can expect expert service that will follow you throughout the life of your loan.
Qualifying for an SBA 7(a) Loan
In order to qualify for an SBA 7(a) loan, your business must reach certain requirements as outlined by the SBA which include:
- Be an operating, for profit, business
- Be located in the US
- Meet the SBA’s business size and business type requirements
