  • •An active SBA program (~1% of the book in this year's production) — they know the process, but SBA isn't the main event. Ask who runs their SBA desk before committing your timeline. That makes BankCherokee more SBA-focused than 79% of the banks on our record.
  • •Deposits grew last quarter — more raw lending capacity than the quarter before.
  • •Return on assets of 0.49% — well under the ~1% mark generally considered strong for a bank. How any of this translates to your rate is a question for the loan officer — pricing is set deal by deal.
