MADISON, WI – September 27, 2023 – Yoon Saechao, Vice President – SBA Lending at First Business Bank, announces a recently closed and funded $1,875,000 SBA 7(a) loan for a Vietnamese restaurant in California to buy a commercial building.
Our clients, owners of a popular pho restaurant who brought their distinctive family recipes from Vietnam to the United States, wanted to purchase another restaurant property to expand their business to a new, third location. With the help of the experienced SBA team at First Business Bank, the clients accessed the benefits of the SBA Lending 7(a) program, such as longer repayment terms and lower down payment.
"Securing an SBA 7(a) loan from First Business Bank was a seamless experience,” said the restaurant business owner. “Their team was patient with our questions and is helpful and experienced. We’re looking forward to bringing our unique family recipes to more people."
