ATLANTA, Sept. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Small Business Administration renewed Hyperion Bank's Delegated Authority status for the SBA 7(a) Express Loan Program. Having delegated authority enables Hyperion to streamline the approval and closing process on loans up to $350,000 for small business customers.
"We are happy to participate in this flexible SBA loan program that has a long history of helping our customers thrive and grow their small business," says Charlie Crawford, Hyperion Bank's Chairman & CEO.
The program guidelines let eligible small businesses get term loans for important needs like real estate and equipment purchases or for improvements to their facilities, or the loan can provide a source of working capital via a revolving line of credit.
"It gives our team another valuable tool to meet new customers and aid existing customers as part of our continuing commitment to serve small businesses in our community," Crawford says. He also notes that the bank was able to get SBA approval for 150 applicants in the 2021 Paycheck Protection Program, with an aggregate loan amount of $13.3 million. (In 2020 Hyperion helped 300 PPP applicants get approved, with an aggregate of $23 million.)
"Our relatively small and agile team tackled as much or more of the SBA PPP market than many larger financial institutions," he says. "I'm proud that we're always ready to jump in and help customers in special circumstances like the pandemic (and subsequent CARES Act funding), and for ongoing funding options like SBA and other commercial lending."
