<\/p>\n\tToday, as part of continued improvements to SBA\u2019s website, we launched a new online toolkit to help banks, credit unions and other financial institutions across<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
America who lend to small businesses. Click on \u201cFor Lenders\u201d<\/a> at the top right of any page on SBA.gov, including this one.
<\/p>\n
\tFor those who are current SBA lenders, you can use the For Lenders site<\/a> to easily download forms, find a service center, get current rates, and submit both applications and loan packages.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\tFor those who aren\u2019t yet SBA lenders, you can find out how to become one<\/a>, and you can get the phone number and email<\/a> of an SBA Lender Relations Specialist in your area who can walk you through the process.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\tLenders are vital partners to help entrepreneurs and small business owners grow successful companies and create good jobs. Over the last two years, all of us at SBA have worked hard to strengthen these partnerships. I hope that current and prospective SBA lenders will find this new tool to be useful, giving them better information at their fingertips in order to help America\u2019s small business owners get the capital they need.
