What Is An SBA Non-Bank Lender And Why Do They Exist?

by Ryan Smith on August 17, 2019 (Updated: July 30, 2020)

Non-Bank Lenders

An SBA non-bank lender is a financial institution that does not accept customer deposits. Their sole reason for existing is to lend money to eligible small businesses in their community.

On the other hand, a bank is a financial institution that solicits monetary deposits from their customers and in turn loans these funds to other customers such as individuals and businesses seeking capital for a variety of reasons including starting or expanding a business.

Banks solicit deposits from their customers for two reasons: Number one to meet the Federal Reserve’s capital reserve requirements to ensure satisfactory liquidity levels and number two because deposited funds in a demand deposit account, or what is commonly referred to as a checking account, are the lowest cost of funds.

Government Regulation

Due to increased government regulatory oversight it is typically more difficult to qualify for a small business loan from a traditional bank than it is from an SBA non-bank lender.

Therefore, seeking capital from an SBA non-bank lender may be to your advantage due to the fact that non-bank lenders typically possess less stringent underwriting guidelines and do not require you to move your deposit relationship to them; which is time consuming and sometimes undesirable if you particularly like your depository institution.

If you’ve been rejected by a traditional bank and would like to be introduced to an SBA non-bank lender give us a call at 858-762-2774.
