2025 SBA Illinois Lender Forums

The Illinois Small Business Administration (SBA) District Office is hosting a series of forums geared toward traditional lenders – for both those new to SBA lending, and for more experienced lenders – to hear the latest on agency programs and services.

Members of the SomerCor team will be on hand at these events to provide instruction on the SBA 504 loan program. These lender forums are a great opportunity to hear from SomerCor’s team of SBA 504 experts on the latest program rules, benefits for small business borrowers, and opportunities for lenders.
