When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • A strong comparison candidate for eligible SBA borrowers, with specialized commercial options for property, healthcare and insurance agencies.

What to weigh carefully

  • SBA 7(a) eligibility follows SBA size and ownership rules; Bankwell evaluates each request individually.
  • Bankwell’s pages do not publish a general conventional loan amount or pricing schedule.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. Is the business eligible under SBA size and ownership rules?
  2. Would a conventional commercial loan or SBA 7(a) better fit this request?

Ask for written terms. Compare net cash received, total repayment, fees, payment timing and early-payoff costs for the same financing need.

Prepare your comparison

Use the same questions and figures for each offer you receive.

Alternatives to research

These are options for a related financing need, not a ranking or a claim of equivalent eligibility or pricing.
