SBA Loan Programs

SBA loans are government-guaranteed loans that help businesses get started, expand, and prosper. They are available to new and existing small companies.

Loans guaranteed by SBA can be used for most business purposes, including seasonal financing, revolving credit, machinery and equipment, owner-occupied real estate purchases, or new construction. SBA loans offer more flexible terms, lower down payments, and a broader qualification process when conventional commercial financing may not be available.

First Interstate Bank offers the following SBA loan programs
