BrightBridge Credit Union has a strong focus on 504 loans, making up 57% of their total SBA deals. This is significantly higher than the national average of about 18%. If you're looking for financing for real estate or large equipment purchases, this lender is a strong candidate.
The average deal size at BrightBridge is $655,154, with a notable number of deals under $350K. If your financing needs are on the smaller side, particularly for existing businesses or startups, this lender could be a good fit.
Despite having a solid volume of SBA loans, BrightBridge's growth trend shows no year-over-year increase, with 22 deals in the last four quarters remaining flat. This could indicate a more cautious lending environment, so be prepared for a potentially more rigorous approval process.
