Merchants Bank SBA Team Sees Continued Success in 2022

Is a lack of funding preventing you from taking the next steps on your small business journey? A loan from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) may be the answer. If your business needs to purchase equipment, refinance debt, or needs an influx of working capital, the SBA team at Merchants Bank of Indiana (MBI) is here and ready to assist.

SBA loans are a great option for small business owners and guarantee a portion of the funds borrowed. That guarantee allows banks like ours to extend more favorable loan terms and lend to businesses that may not be able to borrow money conventionally. SBA loans also offer longer repayment terms, some up to 25 years, allowing the borrower to conserve more cash up front.

  • A $4.6 million loan to a hotel franchisor in Texas planning to use the loan in two different locations;
  • A $2.2 million loan to a family-owned cabinetry company that has been servicing the West Coast for over 40 years; among many others.
