BOOST YOUR BUSINESS WITH A LOAN BACKED BY THE SBA

At Farmers State Bank, we help small businesses succeed.  Our Small Business Administration (SBA) team has the experience needed to create customer financial solutions that preserve capital, lower monthly payments and deliver future flexibility and payment certainty.  Our SBA Preferred Lender status allows us to deliver a faster, streamlined loan process. 

Spending less time on the loan process, means more time focusing on what matters most - growing your business.

BENEFITS OF SBA LOANS

SBA loans are long-term loans partially guaranteed by the government.  Unlike conventional term loans, SBA loans offer business owners the opportunity to take advantage of lower down payments and favorable terms while removing some of the barriers of traditional financing options.  SBA loans offer a wide range of lending options to businesses that might otherwise have difficulty getting approved.  They also generally offer lower down payments and extended terms.

Farmers State Bank's SBA loans can help your business:

  • acquire a new business or franchise
  • refinance an existing business
  • purchase or improve real estate
  • new construction
  • finance new equipment, heavy machinery, specialized equipment or other fixed assets
  • boost working capital

We hope you will give us a chance to share our expertise to help your business grow and succeed.  One thing we commit to is a promise you will receive attentive, personal assistance from application through closing.
