Gulf Coast Small Business Lending has earned nationwide SBA Preferred Lender accreditation. Often referred to as “PLP” (preferred lenders program), lenders that earn this status have been granted delegated authority to underwrite, process, and close SBA-guaranteed loans on behalf of the SBA. This means that we are dedicated to serving small businesses and are recognized as specialists in SBA lending and our borrowers benefit from a much quicker overall process.
We don’t aspire to be the biggest. Instead, we want to remain agile and flexible so that we can deliver customized and personalized solutions. At Gulf Coast Small Business Lending there are real people working with you – we don’t just sit in a cubicle and let a machine analyze your data and check a bunch of boxes. It is our firm belief that small businesses and their owners are more than a collection of data points and figures. When you apply for an SBA loan through Gulf Coast Small Business Lending, we will consider your business’s unique merits and will structure an SBA loan that is customized to meet your unique needs.
