Small Business Lenders of the Year
Awards are presented to those lenders that have used the SBA loan programs to help the maximum number of small business owners to obtain the financing that they need to grow their businesses. These lenders demonstrate their creativity by using the SBA loan programs to assist those businesses that are not able to obtain conventional financing on reasonable terms. The awards include the following:
Lenders of the Year Award
This award recognizes two 7(a) Loan Lenders, two 504 Loan Lenders, two CDC Lenders and one Surety Bond Lender.
Export Lender of the Year Award
This award recognizes two lenders, including nonbank lenders, which have made the most SBA-guaranteed international loans the previous fiscal year as well as having demonstrated a steadfast commitment to supporting the growth and expansion of small businesses across the country even beyond the scope of SBA loans. The focus includes Export Express, Export Working Capital, and International Trade loans.
