Small Business and SBA Loans

Small businesses make our communities great places to live and work

Furthering the growth and development of small businesses throughout our communities is central to Beneficial State Bank’s mission. By keeping more money within the community than large corporations, small businesses help sustain walkable town centers and are responsible for creating the majority of new jobs every year. We are proud to support local businesses in California, Oregon, and Washington.
