Frequently Asked Questions

Pursuit offers many different loans in PA, including loans for owner-occupied commercial real estate, working capital, equipment, debt refinance, startups, and more! Loan amounts range from $10,000 to $5.5 million with various terms, interest rates, and requirements. The best way to get started is to reach out to us with some information on what you’re looking for, and our team will find the best match for your needs.
Each loan program has a different interest rate. Commercial real estate loans through the SBA 504 program have low, fixed-rates throughout the life of the loan and you can find the most recent rates in the 504 interest rate center. The SBA 7(a) program uses the prime rate as part of your interest rate calculation, which means you’ll have a better sense of what to expect as your application moves forward. Pursuit is committed to transparency so we’ll ensure that you’re fully aware of your interest rate throughout the application and funding process.
With Pursuit, our goal is to make the application process as streamlined as possible. You’ll start by submitting some information about your business and your financing needs through our online application. From there, you’ll be invited to submit additional information through our secure portal and work one-on-one with a representative every step of the way. Approval and funding times vary by product, but submitting a complete application and being responsive to requests will ensure everything goes smoothly!
Every loan program has its own timeline for approval, so talk with your loan officer about what to expect for the program that best fits your needs. Many of our CDFI loan programs can be approved within two business days of receiving a complete application (including all required documentation), and other programs will have longer approval timelines.
You can always start with your commercial bank when you need financing. Even if you don’t qualify for their programs, they may refer you to an alternative lender, like Pursuit, that can meet your needs. You can also reach out to your local Small Business Development Center (SBDC) or chamber of commerce for recommendations and other funding opportunities.
