First Enterprise Bank

This is a financial institution offering SBA loan programs and small business financing solutions to support local entrepreneurs and business owners.

It's recommended to schedule an appointment to ensure dedicated time with a loan officer, but walk-ins are also welcome during business hours.

First Enterprise Bank's customer service is available from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time, Monday through Friday — confirm branch hours directly with the bank.

Fees vary depending on the loan type and amount; specific fee details are provided during the application process.

The services are primarily available to small business owners and entrepreneurs within the region, with some programs open to non-residents based on eligibility.

Typically, a minimum personal credit score of 650 is preferred, though higher scores improve approval chances.

The process generally takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the completeness of application documentation and loan complexity.

Most banks keep weekday business hours and are closed on weekends, and First Enterprise Bank typically follows the same pattern. SBA lending staff are generally reachable Monday through Friday. A few locations offer Saturday or by-appointment hours, so call First Enterprise Bank to confirm current weekend availability before you go.

Like most SBA lenders, First Enterprise Bank can finance a broad range of small businesses — common categories include professional services, healthcare practices, restaurants and franchises, retail, light manufacturing, and commercial real estate. Each bank sets its own industry preferences and may avoid sectors it considers higher risk. Ask First Enterprise Bank directly which industries it actively lends to before you apply.

SBA Express offers lines of credit and term loans up to $500,000 with a faster turnaround than standard 7(a) loans. Whether First Enterprise Bank participates in SBA Express depends on its specific SBA lending authority. Contact First Enterprise Bank and ask if it offers SBA Express and what the current limits and terms look like for your situation.

SBA Preferred Lender Program (PLP) status lets a lender approve loans in-house without sending each one to the SBA first, which usually means faster decisions. Many established banks hold PLP status, but it varies by institution. First Enterprise Bank can confirm its current PLP standing — ask before you apply if speed matters to you.

The SBA does fund start-ups, but many traditional lenders prefer at least two years of operating history and may ask newer ventures for a larger equity injection or stronger collateral. First Enterprise Bank's appetite for start-ups is set by its own credit policy. If you are early-stage or pre-revenue, ask First Enterprise Bank directly whether it considers start-up loans.

For SBA 7(a) and 504 commercial real estate loans, borrowers typically contribute around 10% to 20% as a down payment or equity injection, depending on the property and the deal. Exact requirements vary with your credit, the business, and the lender's policy. Ask First Enterprise Bank what down payment it expects for your specific commercial real estate purchase.

SBA 7(a) loans with terms under 15 years generally carry no prepayment penalty, while longer real estate loans can have one in the early years. Short-term working capital lines often have no penalty, but terms vary by lender. Review your loan agreement and ask First Enterprise Bank to spell out any prepayment penalties before you sign.

SBA loans can be used for a partner or owner buyout, including buying out an existing equity partner, when the deal is structured to meet SBA rules — for example, the remaining owner generally must stay actively involved. Approval depends on the specifics, so discuss your buyout plan with First Enterprise Bank to confirm it qualifies and how to document it.

A past personal bankruptcy does not automatically disqualify you from an SBA loan. Lenders look at how long ago it was discharged, the circumstances, and how your credit has recovered since. First Enterprise Bank weighs this case by case under its own policy, so be upfront about your history and ask First Enterprise Bank how it evaluates prior bankruptcies.
