PrintBanks for Small Business Loans
Banks are highly regulated in order to minimize the government's risks from insuring the accounts of depositors. As a consequence, bank lending policies toward small businesses tend to be very conservative.
Banks can be roughly divided into these categories:
- Large commercial banks are a potential source of financing for the best credit risks.
- Small community banks are still the best lenders for the average small business.
- Our directory of the biggest lenders for small businesses lists the best banks in each state, according to the SBA's latest report.
