Small Business Lending and Banking is at the heart of what we do and has been for more than 160 years. Small business is what drives our community and provides 80% of employment to our community workforce. As a community bank, we value that tremendously and want to do all we can to help small businesses succeed.
We have resources to help small businesses get started or expand which includes financing or loans for various needs. One great resource is the assistance of the Small Business Administration (SBA) with an SBA loan.
The Callaway Bank offers several SBA programs and can assist you in figuring out which option is a good fit, and help with the loan process.
We can also assist you with the 504 Loan Program.
The SBA works with lenders to provide loans to small businesses. The agency doesn’t lend money directly to small business owners. Instead, it guarantees a portion of the loan if the client defaults (fails to repay it). The SBA reduces lenders’ risk and makes it easier for them to provide access to capital. That makes it easier for small businesses to get loans.
SBA loans can be used for the funding of your business in multiple areas.
Some uses for SBA loans may include:
Compared to other types of business loans, SBA loans are generally considered a good option for many people who qualify due to their flexibility of use, reasonable interest rates, relatively low down payments, and varying term lengths.
The U.S. Small Business Administration offers a wealth of information beyond financing to help business owners. They provide guides on how to start a business, grow, and expand. https://www.sba.gov/
10 steps to start your business. Starting a business involves planning, making key financial decisions, and completing a series of legal activities.
How to Get A Federal or State Tax ID Number. Your state tax ID and federal tax ID numbers — also known as an Employer Identification Number (EIN) — work like a personal social security number, but for your business. They let your small business pay state and federal taxes.

Lydia is a native of the Fulton area with deep family roots here in the community. After earning her dental assistant degree, she realized that was not her true passion thus leading her to her current position with us here at The Callaway Bank while continuing with her drive-in helping others.
When she is not immersing herself in reading an enjoyable book or revamping a room in her home with creative decor, she can be found diving into some retail therapy or spending time with her pets. While her volunteering has taken a backseat lately, she is eager to dive back into the community and help again.
Lydia thrives on the opportunity to assist and reassure people that she is here to help them every step of the way. She is part of a supportive team dedicated to guiding clients through every financial process. Here at the Bank, she feels this close-knit group is a second family and enjoys sharing that same feeling with everyone she helps.
