Bank of America is part of the Preferred Lenders Program (PLP)
  • Bank of America can approve SBA loan requests in-house (not required to get SBA approval) with faster turnaround times saving clients weeks of waiting.
  • PLP lenders have the tools most banks do not have, allowing them to act quickly and efficiently through the process.
  • You get to work directly with a bank that has a proven track record since they maintain a relationship with the government.
  • PLP lenders usually offer longer repayment terms, lower payments, and no prepayment penalties (except on commercial real estate).

SBA loans offer convenient financial options for almost any business purpose. These programs offer long terms, low down payments and reduced collateral requirements.adatext
