Many SBA lenders look for a personal score around 640 or higher, but each bank sets its own bar and it changes. Ask Flushing Bank what it looks for today.

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, Flushing Bank most often finances businesses in construction & contractors, wholesale & distribution, restaurants & food service, medical practices & clinics, manufacturing, and general retail. This reflects Flushing 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 Flushing Bank 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 Flushing Bank participates in SBA Express depends on its specific SBA lending authority. Contact Flushing Bank and ask if it offers SBA Express and what the current limits and terms look like for your situation.

Whether Flushing Bank has SBA Preferred Lender (PLP) status is set by the SBA. Ask the bank directly; PLP lenders can approve in-house and often move faster.

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