Hawaii National Bank

This is a bank offering SBA loan programs designed to support small business growth and development, with personalized service and local expertise.

It is recommended to schedule an appointment to meet with a lender, but walk-in consultations may be available during business hours.

The bank's branch hours are typically Monday through Friday, from 9 am to 4 pm, but it's best to check directly with the branch for specific times.

There may be application and processing fees associated with SBA loans, which will be disclosed during the loan application process.

This service is primarily available to small business owners within the local community, but eligibility requirements apply based on the loan program.

A minimum personal credit score of around 650 is generally preferred, though higher scores improve approval chances.

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

Most banks keep weekday business hours and are closed on weekends, and Hawaii National 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 Hawaii National Bank to confirm current weekend availability before you go.

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