Does this lender have Preferred Lender Provider status with the government?

Whether Three Rivers Federal Credit Union has SBA Preferred Lender (PLP) status is set by the SBA. Ask the bank directly; PLP lenders can approve in-house and often move faster.

Are start-up companies eligible for financing at this lender?

The SBA does fund start-ups, but many traditional lenders prefer at least two years of operating history and may ask newer ventures for a larger equity injection or stronger collateral. Three Rivers Federal Credit Union's appetite for start-ups is set by its own credit policy. If you are early-stage or pre-revenue, ask Three Rivers Federal Credit Union directly whether it considers start-up loans.

What are the typical down payment expectations for commercial real estate acquisitions?

For SBA 7(a) and 504 commercial real estate loans, borrowers typically contribute around 10% to 20% as a down payment or equity injection, depending on the property and the deal. Exact requirements vary with your credit, the business, and the lender's policy. Ask Three Rivers Federal Credit Union what down payment it expects for your specific commercial real estate purchase.

Does this lender impose prepayment penalties on short-term working capital facilities?

SBA 7(a) loans with terms under 15 years generally carry no prepayment penalty, while longer real estate loans can have one in the early years. Short-term working capital lines often have no penalty, but terms vary by lender. Review your loan agreement and ask Three Rivers Federal Credit Union to spell out any prepayment penalties before you sign.

Can I use loan proceeds from this lender to buy out an existing equity partner?

SBA loans can be used for a partner or owner buyout, including buying out an existing equity partner, when the deal is structured to meet SBA rules — for example, the remaining owner generally must stay actively involved. Approval depends on the specifics, so discuss your buyout plan with Three Rivers Federal Credit Union to confirm it qualifies and how to document it.

Will historical personal bankruptcies automatically disqualify my loan application here?

A past personal bankruptcy does not automatically disqualify you from an SBA loan. Lenders look at how long ago it was discharged, the circumstances, and how your credit has recovered since. Three Rivers Federal Credit Union weighs this case by case under its own policy, so be upfront about your history and ask Three Rivers Federal Credit Union how it evaluates prior bankruptcies.
