Country Bank has the experience to help you get an SBA Massachusetts loan

Ware, MA, June 20, 2014 — Country Bank, is one of the largest community banks in the Commonwealth. As part of their mission as a mutual financial institution, Country Bank is able to offer its business customers SBA Massachusetts loan assistance for a variety of programs.

When a customer receives an SBA Massachusetts loan, the SBA agrees to underwrite up to 85% of the risk from that loan. That leaves the bank with only 15% of the risk, thus making loans to start-up ventures and other small businesses become possible where a traditional loan wouldn’t work.

“About 80% of all jobs come from working in small businesses,” said Bryan Moore an SBA loan expert at Country Bank. “The small business loan Massachusetts was created by the SBA to help promote the creation and continued success of small businesses and the jobs they create. SBA Massachusetts loans do just that, and at Country Bank we understand that small businesses are critical to our local communities” he said.

Depending on the program, a small business loan Massachusetts from the SBA can be used to purchase equipment or real estate, get capital to open a new business, or to help finance an existing business. The SBA 7A loan program is for those seeking less than $350,000. For loans under $150,000, the SBA is currently charging no fees in their Small Advantage Loans (SLA) program.

“With the SBA, there’s a little more paperwork when applying for a small business loan Massachusetts and you have to know all the procedures,” Moore explained. “But, we’re highly experienced and have a very efficient process for filing for the right SBA loan for your business.”
