What we consider when evaluating a business lending request

  • Business standing

    Our lenders consider your business history, current business standing and the type of loan you desire. For some loan types, including SBA loans, you may also be required to provide a business plan highlighting your projected financial statements, including profit and loss, cash flow and balance sheet.

  • Collateral

    The loan you are able to secure may depend in part on the collateral you have available to put up against the loan value. You may want to prepare information regarding the value of potential collateral items as part of the loan process.

  • Financial standing

    To determine your business’ creditworthiness, our lenders may review several sources of information, including your credit score, bank statements, tax returns and other information.

  • Legal standing

    Our lenders may want a good idea of contracts you have in place with third parties, any leases or other agreements that are in place, and your business licenses or registrations.

  • Are there any fees to apply for a business loan?
    + -

    RBFCU does not charge application fees on its business loan products.

  • What's the difference between an SBA loan and a regular business loan?
    + -

    SBA loans are provided through RBFCU and partially backed by the U.S. government. This additional layer of financial backing means potential flexibility for your business. SBA loans may have the potential to provide borrowers with lower down payment requirements and longer loan terms to assist with minimizing monthly payments and improving cash flow.

  • Does RBFCU offer business loan financing to nonprofits?
    + -

    Yes, subject to credit qualifications, RBFCU can offer financing to nonprofit businesses.

  • Do I have to be a Select Group (SG) to get a business loan?
    + -

    No, RBFCU has more than 4,000 ways to qualify you for membership. To get more information on becoming an RBFCU Select Group, call our Business Development Office at 210-945-3300 , ext. 53827 or email us at membership@rbfcu.org.

  • How long will it take to receive my business loan approval?
    + -

    Time from application to closing varies, depending on the complexity of the request. We recommend you contact us to complete an application as soon as you have identified a need for financing and that you build a very thorough business plan in order to help us determine the financing options that may best suit your needs.

Business Lending rates and terms are subject to change and are offered with approved credit.
