A sign that
lending for small businesses continues to improve is the recent report that Wells Fargo approved more than $548 million in SBA 7(a) loans nationwide so far this year. As reported by
Market Watch and Business Wire, Wells Fargo has continued to issue the most SBA loan dollars to
small business owners than any other lender in the country.
The announcement came as Wells Fargo started its annual Small Business Appreciation, which celebrates how important small businesses are to the U.S. economic recovery. Given that the company has helped meet the needs of thousands of entrepreneurs looking to
finance buying a business, this is a positive sign for those that are seriously interested in
small business ownership.
SBA 7(a) loans have continued to be a strong tool for those that are looking to
buy an existing business in their local marketplace. Wells Fargo has long recognized the importance of assisting
small business owners in the U.S., which is why they are the top SBA 7(a) lender in dollars or number of loans in several states such as Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas.
