Sunwest Bank has a strong focus on established businesses, with 87% of their deals going to existing businesses. This makes them a solid choice for borrowers looking to expand or refinance an established operation.
With a 39% share of 504 loans, Sunwest Bank is significantly above the national average of 18%. This indicates a strong capability in financing real estate and larger projects, making them a good fit for borrowers needing substantial capital for property acquisition or improvements.
Despite their strengths, Sunwest Bank has experienced a 19% decline in deal volume year-over-year. This trend may affect their willingness to lend, so potential borrowers should be prepared for a more rigorous approval process.
