It is recommended to schedule an appointment to ensure dedicated time with a loan specialist, but walk-ins may be accommodated depending on availability. Calling ahead can help streamline your visit.

Vision One CU's toll-free business line operates Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time. Please contact them directly to confirm current hours or schedule appointments outside regular hours.

There are no fees to visit or inquire; however, loan application fees and closing costs may apply depending on the loan type and amount. These are discussed during the loan process.

This lender primarily serves small business owners in the Sacramento area and surrounding regions. Eligibility is based on business criteria and creditworthiness, not residency alone.

A minimum personal credit score of approximately 640 is generally preferred, though higher scores improve approval chances.

The underwriting process typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the completeness of your application and the complexity of your loan request.

Most credit unions keep weekday business hours and are closed on weekends, and Vision One CU 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 Vision One CU to confirm current weekend availability before you go.

Based on its approved SBA loans, Vision One CU most often finances businesses in medical practices & clinics. This reflects Vision One CU'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 Vision One CU which sectors 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 Vision One CU participates in SBA Express depends on its specific SBA lending authority. Contact Vision One CU 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 credit unions hold PLP status, but it varies by institution. Vision One CU 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. Vision One CU's appetite for start-ups is set by its own credit policy. If you are early-stage or pre-revenue, ask Vision One CU 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 Vision One CU 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 Vision One CU 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 Vision One CU 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. Vision One CU weighs this case by case under its own policy, so be upfront about your history and ask Vision One CU how it evaluates prior bankruptcies.
