For acquisitions, start-ups, or businesses in the early stages of development, obtaining financing can be difficult. Banks typically look for a history of financial performance, proven experience in the field of business, and financial projections.

Fortunately, there are two agencies with which Mayflower Bank works to help business owners in these situations. The Southeast Economic Development Corporation (SEED) is an accredited lender of the Small Business Administration (SBA), and can provide business assistance and small direct loans for your business' financial needs.

Mayflower Bank is also an SBA lender, and can work in conjunction with, or independent of, SEED to provide financing under the SBA's various loan guarantee programs. Our designation as an SBAExpress lender streamlines the process so you can get your money fast.

To inquire about how the various SBA or SEED programs can help you obtain financing, please contact one of our lenders. To learn more about SEED, visit their website at seedcorp.com.
