Small Business Administration (SBA)

As an SBA Express Lender, we can work with you to determine if an SBA loan is the best option based on your short and long term goals and qualification requirements. Being an Express Lender lets us provide a fast SBA guarantee decision on your loan.

In addition to financing options, Lakeview CU and the SBA can provide valuable information to help in setting up your business. Online training and tips on creating a business plan are just some of the free resources that are available. Click here to go to the SBA website or contact Chip Coenen, LCU VP of Business Development, at 920-729-5131. Chip will be happy to meet with you to assess your needs and offer solutions.
