The Small Business Administration was designed to help America’s small businesses secure funding needed to operate and grow. A primary way the SBA does this is through the SBA loan program, which extends guaranteed financing to small businesses through participating lenders.

South Central Bank is one of the top SBA lenders in Kentucky. SBA Loans have fixed and variable rates, long terms and low down payments making them a desirable option for business owners.

As an SBA Lender, we are able to provide a quick turn-around time on loans, while still providing our personalized service. Benefits of an SBA loan include the ability to secure long-term financing (no balloon payments), flexible program requirements, longer amortization, and easy accessibility to financing thanks to the Small Business Administration guaranty.
