The credit crunch has left many small businesses in the dust over the past year and a half. Many reports coming out show that funds have been hard to come by whether businesses are seeking startup financing, seed money, construction & development loans, etc. As more of the national banks have tightened their loan policies, it’s important for our local banks to step up. Michiana’s own MutualBank is a great example of a bank looking to help the small business community.

Business Perspective

When looking for your next business loan, it’s important to find a bank with experience and a history of full service offerings. Business lending is a very technical field wherein a history of working with businesses can help owners overcome financial and business obstacles. MutualBank offers a full line of business lending options to provide clients and companies with a complete business perspective.

Here are some services you should look for in your business-lending bank:

• Lines of Credit – Working capital to properly manage your cash.
• Equipment Financing – Flexible loan options working with your cash flow to finance equipment, machinery or other capital needs.
• Commercial Real Estate Loans – Flexibility in interest rate options or terms that provide your business with the necessary capital to expand current locations.
• Lease Options – Leasing allows business owners to keep pace with the ever-changing technology without straining their everyday cash flow. And depending on your tax adviser, these lease may be fully tax deductible.
• Construction and Development Loans – These options serve construction companies and those looking to build additions to their current structures.
• Online Banking – As any small business owner knows, the work never stops. There’s always something more to do, so make sure your business has online banking options.

Small Business Loans

Small businesses are intertwined with their communities unlike the national chains. Money spent at local small businesses stays within the community. It is for this reason that regional or citywide banks like MutualBank specialize in small business financing and loans.

MutualBank counsels clients on the best SBA loan for each individual business. They are also an approved Small Business Association (SBA) Express lender, allowing quick and timely loans.  Community banks like MutualBank help local economies grow and develop by meeting the goals and needs of businesses.
