Who owns or operates this listing?

This page is an independent directory listing for Bank Five Nine, an SBA-participating bank.

Treat this directory page as a starting point and confirm hours and contact details with Bank Five Nine before relying on them.

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

Based on its approved SBA loans, Bank Five Nine most often finances businesses in real estate & property management, restaurants & food service, medical practices & clinics, manufacturing, fitness & recreation, and childcare & early education. This reflects Bank Five Nine'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 Bank Five Nine which sectors it actively lends to before you apply.

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

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

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

Bank Five Nine holds SBA Preferred Lender Program status, which enables the bank to approve SBA loans in-house for faster decisions. Please confirm current PLP status with the lender.

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. Bank Five Nine's appetite for start-ups is set by its own credit policy. If you are early-stage or pre-revenue, ask Bank Five Nine 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 Bank Five Nine 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 Bank Five Nine 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 Bank Five Nine 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. Bank Five Nine weighs this case by case under its own policy, so be upfront about your history and ask Bank Five Nine how it evaluates prior bankruptcies.
