Small Business loans available at your preferred branch
We’ve also developed three small business loan products, available directly through our branches, for those in need of working capital financing for a commercial purpose.
The Small Business Professional Credit Line (for those looking to borrow $25,000 - $100,000) and the Small Business Overdraft Credit Line (for those looking to borrow $2,500 - $25,000) could be appropriate solutions for commercial borrowers who are operating companies (including corporations, LLCs, and PCs) or are individuals (including sole proprietorships). In addition, the branches also offer the Small Business Fixed Asset Acquisition Term Loan (for those looking to borrow up to $50,000), which can be combined with either of the small business credit lines. To learn more, contact your local branch, or call 860-448-4200.
