Loan Consultant Says SBA Loan Volume Is Rising


Many indicators and experts alike are stating we may have hit the bottom.  There has been a significant increase in SBA loan volume over the past month according to a survey by Terrey and Associates giving significant hope to the small business community. 

Our own firm saw double the volume in funding requests during the month of March and the mindset of our clients is increasingly positive.   The recent confirmation of Karen Mills as SBA Administrator along with the continuing efforts of the Obama Administration leads us to believe small business owners will once again flock to the SBA in search of funds.

The difference now as opposed to recent months is more loans are being approved and fees are being waived, two key factors for small business owners across the country.

I am finding out that people are starting to hear good response from SBA about possibility of getting money to buy a business. This is a change from before.

I hope this is a real trend and that it continues. I don't know what else the government can do to get money moving again.

I think the SBA started offering bigger guarantees, such as up to 90% of the loan, to make sure the lenders are more confident about making loans.
