First Southwest Bank primarily serves existing businesses, with 52% of their deals focused on this category. This indicates they may be a better fit for established companies rather than startups or acquisitions.
With an average 7(a) spread of P+1.67%, First Southwest Bank offers competitive pricing compared to the national median of P+2.75%. This could lead to significant savings on interest for borrowers.
The lender has seen a decline of 30% year-over-year in deal volume, which may indicate a tightening in their lending activity. Borrowers should be mindful of this trend as it could affect approval rates.
