Bank locally - we know how to do it right here in Hartford. Data evidencing our successful business lending institutions is by our very own First Bank Financial Centre's Ranking for SBA Loans.

Recently published by NAGGL (National Association of Government Guaranteed Lenders), First Bank Financial Centre's ranking in Approved Gross Dollars, is #26 in the country and #1 in the State from 10/1/2010 through 8/31/2011.  They expect to be over $100,000,000 by the end of September which is the year-end for the SBA.

One note, Ridgestone Financial Services from Brookfield, WI is ranked above them on the National ranking but because most of their loans are done out of Illinois, FBFC is ranked higher for the state.
