"Thanks to SmartBiz we have freed up the capital we need to continue growing."

Our healthcare business had been growing very quickly over the past 4 years. We had been using short term financing to fill our financial needs during this period, but it was becoming too expensive. We turned to SmartBiz for help and they delivered! We would like to recognize Chris Schreiber on their team for all of the work he put in to get this SBA loan approved. Thanks to SmartBiz we have freed up the capital we need to continue growing.

From day one, Zachary was transparent, knowledgeable, assessed my company quickly regarding being qualified for SBA loan, and provide clear and consistent communication regarding the process. I've already referred him to multiple business partners and I'll be a repeat customer as well.

  1. We conduct a soft credit pull that will not affect your credit score. However, in processing your loan application, SmartBiz Bank and the lenders with whom we work will request your full credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies, which is considered a hard credit pull and may impact your credit score.
  2. Interest rates are determined by the applicant's loan size, credit profile and are subject to credit approval. 
  3. Subject to credit approval. Your loan amount will be determined based on many factors, including your credit and financial profile. Not all applicants will qualify for the full amount. 

* Interest rate depends on loan term, business borrower credit score, and financial profile.
