Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?

It's recommended to schedule an appointment to ensure dedicated time with a loan specialist, but walk-ins are also welcome during business hours. Calling ahead can help you prepare and make the process more efficient.

What are the hours of operation?

The bank operates from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Appointments outside regular hours can be arranged upon request.

Is there a fee to use this?

There are application and service fees associated with SBA loans, which are disclosed upfront. The exact fees depend on the loan size and type.

Who is this open to — anyone, or only residents/members?

This bank primarily serves small business owners and entrepreneurs within the region, but eligibility depends on meeting specific loan criteria rather than residency alone.

What minimum personal credit score does this bank look for in a guarantor?

A minimum personal credit score of 620 is generally required, though higher scores improve approval chances.

How long does the traditional underwriting process take from start to close?

The underwriting process typically takes between 30 to 60 days, depending on the complexity of the application and completeness of documentation.

Is this open on weekends?

Most banks keep weekday business hours and are closed on weekends, and Haverhill 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 Haverhill Bank to confirm current weekend availability before you go.

For exact directions, the entrance, and accessible parking, use the listed address or call ahead and staff can point you to visitor spaces.

Who owns or operates this listing?

This page is an independent directory listing for Haverhill Bank, an SBA-participating bank. It is maintained by SBA Lenders USA to help borrowers compare lenders — not by Haverhill Bank itself, which runs its own lending under its own ownership.

How current is the information on this page?

The core details for Haverhill Bank — name, location, contact, and lender type — are compiled from public records and reviewed periodically. Rates, programs, credit policies, and hours change often and are not guaranteed here, so always confirm the latest terms directly with Haverhill Bank before applying.

How do I contact this listing directly?

You can reach Haverhill Bank by phone at (978) 374-0161 or online at haverhillbank.com — the details are in the contact card on this page. For SBA loans specifically, ask for their business lending or SBA department. Treat this directory page as a starting point and confirm hours and contact details with Haverhill Bank before relying on them.

What core industries does this commercial bank traditionally choose to finance?

Based on its approved SBA loans, Haverhill Bank most often finances businesses in construction & contractors, restaurants & food service, cleaning, landscaping & janitorial, automotive repair & services, and medical practices & clinics. This reflects Haverhill Bank's real SBA 7(a) and 504 lending history rather than a stated policy — it can still consider other industries and sets its own current preferences, so confirm with Haverhill Bank which sectors it actively lends to before you apply.

Can I apply for an SBA Express line of credit at this branch?

Haverhill Bank is a Designated SBA Lender providing SBA Express loans. Contact them at (978) 374-0161 to discuss SBA Express options and confirm current program availability.

Does this bank have Preferred Lender Provider status with the government?

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. Haverhill Bank can confirm its current PLP standing — ask before you apply if speed matters to you.

Are start-up companies eligible for financing at this traditional institution?

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. Haverhill Bank's appetite for start-ups is set by its own credit policy. If you are early-stage or pre-revenue, ask Haverhill Bank directly whether it considers start-up loans.

What are the typical down payment expectations for commercial real estate acquisitions?

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 Haverhill Bank what down payment it expects for your specific commercial real estate purchase.

Does this bank impose prepayment penalties on short-term working capital facilities?

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 Haverhill Bank to spell out any prepayment penalties before you sign.

Can I use loan proceeds from this bank to buy out an existing equity partner?

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 Haverhill Bank to confirm it qualifies and how to document it.

Will historical personal bankruptcies automatically disqualify my loan application here?

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. Haverhill Bank weighs this case by case under its own policy, so be upfront about your history and ask Haverhill Bank how it evaluates prior bankruptcies.
