Typically, the branch operates Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but hours may vary, so it's best to check with the branch directly.

There are no fees for accessing basic banking services, but loan applications and processing may involve standard SBA and bank-specific fees.
Who is this open to — anyone, or only residents/members?
This service is primarily available to small business owners in the region who meet lending criteria, including creditworthiness and business history.
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 2 to 4 weeks, 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 Frost 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 Frost Bank to confirm current weekend availability before you go.

Who owns or operates this listing?
This page is an independent directory listing for Frost Bank, an SBA-participating bank. It is maintained by SBA Lenders USA to help borrowers compare lenders — not by Frost Bank itself, which runs its own lending under its own ownership. If you work at Frost Bank, you can claim this listing from this page to manage it.
How current is the information on this page?
The core details for Frost Bank — name, location, contact, and lender type — are compiled from public records and reviewed periodically.

What core industries does this commercial bank traditionally choose to finance?
Based on its approved SBA loans, Frost Bank most often finances businesses in restaurants & food service, medical practices & clinics, general retail, construction & contractors, manufacturing, and fitness & recreation. This reflects Frost 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 Frost Bank which sectors it actively lends to before you apply.
Can I apply for an SBA Express line of credit at this branch?
Yes, Frost Bank offers SBA Express loans up to $500,000 with an accelerated application process and longer maturity terms. Contact Frost Bank at (800) 513-7678 to confirm availability at this specific branch.
Does this bank have Preferred Lender Provider status with the government?
Yes, Frost Bank holds Preferred Lender Program (PLP) status with the SBA, which allows them to process, close, and service SBA-guaranteed loans in-house. This PLP authority expedites your loan approval process. Please confirm current PLP status with Frost Bank.
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. Frost Bank's appetite for start-ups is set by its own credit policy. If you are early-stage or pre-revenue, ask Frost 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 Frost 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 Frost 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 Frost 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. Frost Bank weighs this case by case under its own policy, so be upfront about your history and ask Frost Bank how it evaluates prior bankruptcies.
