SBA Loans

From the first moment we walked in the door we knew Lighthouse Bank was different from other banks. They welcomed us with genuine interest, listened to our vision for our business and have supported us every step of the way.

SBA Loans

Lighthouse Bank has been awarded Preferred Lender (PLP) status with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). As a Preferred Lender, we are permitted to make decisions on behalf of the SBA which significantly shortens the loan process. A variety of Small Business loan programs are available to assist small and medium sized businesses.

Small Business Administration (SBA) 7 (a) Loan Program purposes include:

Start up Financing
Working Capital
Business Purchase
Purchase of Equipment or Inventory
Leasehold Improvements
Construction
Up to 90% financing for Owner-Occupied Commercial Real Estate purchases and construction

Small Business Administration 504 Loan Program
