Small Business Lending Roundtable: New Orleans
The Federation and the Louisiana Credit Union League are pleased to announce this opportunity for credit unions interested in expanding their member business lending. Come learn about a software and service partnership between the Federation and Community Reinvestment Fund to offer a stand-alone business lending platform that integrates with SBA. This easy to use, web-based lending platform,with guides and tips for borrowers, has proven to reduce origination time by more than 40% by:
- working directly with the borrower – the business owner can log-in into his application to follow loan processing and track deliverables
- checking the work of the loan officer – through simple checklists, the loan officer is able to improve the accuracy of the loan documentation submitted, quickly identifying the SBA forms required, saving time and loan officers’ workload
- pre-populating SBA forms and credit memos
