It is recommended to schedule an appointment to ensure dedicated time with a loan officer, but walk-in consultations may be available during business hours.

The bank's typical hours are Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but it is best to contact ahead for specific appointment times.

There are no fees to visit or consult with the bank; however, loan processing and application fees may apply depending on the financing requested.

This bank primarily serves local residents and businesses in the Muscatine area, but they may also work with out-of-area clients depending on the loan program.

A minimum personal credit score of 640 is generally preferred, though other factors such as business cash flow and collateral are also considered.

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

Based on its approved SBA loans, CBI Bank and Trust most often finances businesses in manufacturing, medical practices & clinics, and restaurants & food service. This reflects CBI Bank and Trust'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 CBI Bank and Trust 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 CBI Bank and Trust participates in SBA Express depends on its specific SBA lending authority. Contact CBI Bank and Trust 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. CBI Bank and Trust 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. CBI Bank and Trust's appetite for start-ups is set by its own credit policy. If you are early-stage or pre-revenue, ask CBI Bank and Trust 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 CBI Bank and Trust 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 CBI Bank and Trust 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 CBI Bank and Trust 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. CBI Bank and Trust weighs this case by case under its own policy, so be upfront about your history and ask CBI Bank and Trust how it evaluates prior bankruptcies.
