Bank of Hope is an SBA Preferred Lender (PLP), a designation the SBA grants to lenders with delegated authority to approve 7(a) loans in-house, which speeds underwriting and closing. Bank of Hope has funded 39,194 SBA 7(a) loans across 53 states, averaging $245K per loan. PLP status means the lender does not have to send each file to the SBA for review, a material edge on turnaround for qualified borrowers.
