Key Takeaways
- Established non-citizen businesses with years of operating history are ideal Bankable candidates
- Revenue history is the primary qualification factor—years of operation translate directly to funding capacity
- SBA 7(a) was most commonly used by existing businesses for expansion capital—Bankable directly replaces this
- 92% of revenue-qualified existing businesses are approved through Bankable
- Multi-year operating businesses can access $50K-$5M based on their revenue track record
If you have been operating your business for several years, generating consistent revenue, and paying taxes—you are exactly the profile that Bankable was designed to serve. The March 2026 SBA rule blocked you not because your business is weak, but because of your immigration status. Bankable looks past that entirely.
Established non-citizen businesses represent some of the strongest loan candidates in any lender's portfolio. Multi-year operating history is the most powerful predictor of repayment capability. Your revenue track record, your customer base, your operational consistency—these are what Bankable evaluates.
