Asian American Owned Banks

Banks are another source of financing a business. Most banks cater to all businesses without any focus on any specific group. However, there are banks that offers programs for specific minority groups. If you are an Asian American owned small business and you are looking for a bank that have a financial program geared towards you, Asian American owned banks is a good place to start.

Large mainstream banks are reluctant to give loans to newcomers to set up a business. That’s where ethnic banks step in. After examining a customer’s repayment prospects, these banks issue loans quickly, though interest rates are often higher to cover the risk. “Ethnic banks avoid bad loans as they make decisions based on factors like culture, background, social status.

Banks offers a variety of loans. These loans include Lines of Credit, Commercial Real Estate Loans, SBA Loans, Term Loans, Equipment Loans, Business Acquisition Loans, Business Expansion Loans, Working Capital Loans, etc. Loan amounts depends on the how much is being requested and how much the bank is willing to lend.
