NEW YORK, Oct. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Newtek Business Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: NEWT), The Small Business Authority, announced that its subsidiary, Newtek Small Business Finance Inc., which is one of the very few non-bank lenders currently active in making small business loans, extended the availability of its credit lines with Capital One, N.A. from December 16, 2012 until September 30, 2013. These revolving facilities enable the Company to finance both the government-guaranteed and non-guaranteed portion of U.S. Small Business Administration 7(a) loans. The Company has previously announced that it expected to close approximately $100 million in guaranteed small business loans during 2011.
Barry Sloane, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said: "We continue to make great progress toward our goal of funding $100 million in loans to small businesses during 2011 as we have publicly forecast. Our previous financial guidance for 2012 assumed loan originations of $125-$150 million and this extension of the maturity of our Capital One, N.A. credit facilities for an additional nine months will help get us there. We welcome the opportunity to fund small businesses across the US in amounts from $50,000 to $5 million and we appreciate the good working relationship we have with Capital One which facilitates this important part of our business."
