Need Help Finding a Lender?

We encourage you to start with your local bank with whom you already have your existing business account as many banks are, because of demand, being forced to limit application processing for PPP loans to existing customers. The S.B.A. has a search tool to help you find nearby lenders, but — again — they may not take new customers.

Some lenders have said they will work with new customers. They include Kabbage, an online lender that teamed up with a bank; NorthOne, a digital bank that is funding its loans through Radius Bank; and Ready Capital, a nonbank lender already approved to make S.B.A. loans.
