At Fidelity Bank, we’re dedicated to helping small business owners everywhere achieve lasting success. As an SBA Preferred Lender, our experienced team takes pride in providing tailored financing solutions that fuel growth and strengthen businesses for the future. We’re proud to share the meaningful impact our SBA lending experts made within the small business community throughout the third quarter of 2025.
In Q3, our dedicated team proudly secured over $7 million in SBA financing through eight successful loans. Each project represented a unique opportunity to support the dreams and growth of small business owners nationwide. Our lending experts worked closely with entrepreneurs across a mix of industries, including residential care, roofing, accounting, restaurants, performing arts and more! Together, we helped create stronger businesses, new opportunities, and lasting impact within the communities we serve.
As a nationwide lender, we have the pleasure of working with small business owners across the country. Last quarter, we helped secure funding for businesses in North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Florida, and New York. Business acquisition, made possible by the SBA 7(a) loan program, was a popular purpose for funding in Q3. However, we were also able to help close loans that were used for start-up expenses, real estate purchases, expansions, asset purchases, and leasehold improvements.
In Q3 2025, the SBA made a major announcement regarding fee waivers for manufacturers seeking small business loans. Effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, small manufacturers utilizing the SBA 7(a) loan program will have the up-front guaranty fee and annual servicing fee waived for loans $950,000 and under (Information Notice 5000-87201). For the SBA 504 loan program, borrowers will pay no up-front guaranty fee and no annual servicing fee (Information Notice 5000-871532). Manufacturers are now better suited than ever to take advantage of the solutions that these SBA loan programs offer.
With 2026 on the immediate horizon, there is no better time than Q4 to make sure you have mapped out a plan for measurable growth in the upcoming year.
