SBA Loans

we’re Making a Big Impact on Small Business Success

Highland Bank, an SBA Preferred Lender, has built a reputation as a leading provider of U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) loans.

In 2019, the bank was recognized by the SBA Minneapolis District Office as a Top SBA Minnesota Lender, at the Annual Small Business Week Awards event.

In 2016, the bank was awarded SPEDCO’s “Bank of the Year” for approving and closing more SBA 504 loans with SPEDCO than any other MN financial institution.

Here at Highland Bank, we work closely with the SBA to help local small businesses thrive. Kim Storey, SBA Manager at Highland Bank, is proud of the key role we play.

“We’re one of a select few SBA Preferred Lenders in the Twin Cities area, and consistently rank in the Top 10 Minnesota lenders, who put money into the hands of local business owners. Those businesses and that money make a big impact in their communities,” Storey emphasized.
