Is your big bank being a little bitch about 100% @SBAgov-guaranteed paycheck protection loans for #COVIDー19 relief to small businesses, nonprofits & self-employed?

There are plenty of other options.

Here’s a map I made of SBA 7(a) lenders: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/viewer?mid=1mKxVOhdEKLqnjaFICFzODv__1xFcC514&ll=38.841325466517624%2C-98.34253309016503&z=4">https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/...

Pro-tips:

Look for the orange "FA$TRK (Small Loan Express)” markers for mostly community banks & credit unions.

Or look for the purple “Community Advantage Initiative” markers for nonprofit lenders.

The darker the underlying green dot, the more active that lender has been.

Still can’t find another 7(a) lender near you? See this other map I made for maybe a few more options.

On this map, look for the yellow credit union dots or the blue banks, all authorized PPP lenders as of today if they weren& #39;t on the first map already. https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/viewer?mid=1tRu_dZffaf-eaPpO5UD0Z_DipPQ&ll=38.68798308753301%2C-96.28233578750007&z=4">https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/...

All that said, smaller banks, smaller credit unions & nonprofit lenders do face a lot of constraints to rapidly ramping up their lending. Not impossible to overcome, but something to bear in mind.
